Okay interesting. Thanks!And that, "don't even think about trying anything" body language!
Lifespan depends on a lot of things. I've had several bucks that reached 10 to 12 years. Most of my does haven't made it to 6 years; word is that cancer in the reproductive system takes them down (I haven't done necropsies, so I can't say for sure about the cause, but I can confirm the much shorter lifespan). Of course, spaying a doe should significantly increase her life expectancy.
