Boys...our NZ breeding buck does that, too. lol He's a real ham, and he likes attention.Thank you both for everything. I was much better prepared for this one, and the outcome might have been different had I not been following along and asking my random questions for the last few months. I'm so glad I had been saving the extra fur!
Interesting about the thumping. I hadn't seen that behavior before. My buck is cute in the morning when I go out for feeding--he hops in circles around his cage making as much noise as possible to get my attention.
