She's a young doe I wouldn't worry, especially if your feeling movement, it means the kits are alive and well. No movement then I'd worry. Most of my does don't start nesting until right before kindling, some don't start pulling fur until after birthing their litters, while they're still in the...

Looks like a Black Mini Rex.
