Good idea! Will do! I'll start my own grow out thread.
Oh, did you start counting feed when they were born or when they started coming out of the nest or eating, or? It seems like that will be hard for me to do.
So I went out and checked this morning, I tried not to disturb the nest too much, but I didn't see any dead ones and I counted at least five fat pink ones.
Babies-
Doe- Lily
Buck- Novi
Thank you me too!!! I have to go get pictures and see how many there are, but I didn't want to disturb her too much... I saw one big fat one this morning while I was feeding! I was surprised how big it was!!!
Oh also, what is the standard age you all start breeding your does?
I think they look great, and I think it's awesome your recording all your info!

So I need help;
One doe is pregnant, and I have...
I tried all three does again today and WHOO HOO one got done! She was growling and running away but eventually she stopped in the corner and the buck hopped on and did his deed like 5 times, it was SO funny he would grunt then literally fall off! LoL...
NOW TO KEEP TRYING WITH THE OTHER TWO!!!
I'm positive the two that WERE growling AREN'T pregnant. Should I just put them together and leave them for like a week? Nothing else seems to be working, I tried putting her in for 30 minutes staying and watching several times a day. It's like the does want nothing to do with the bucks.
I...
