    New Doe pulling fur?

    Well it's been 4 days with the nest box in there... no kits & she's startn to use it as a litter box so I guess I'm gonna take it out but hopefully she's bred to my cali buck & I'll have lil cali kits in 4wks or so "fingers crossed" I really appreciate all the advice on the situation

    New Doe pulling fur?

    I put her with my buck & he covered her & fell off once then she started fighting him pretty aggressively so I took her out it was that night that she pulled fur so I thought with the way she fought him & all there could be a chance she was already bred but I'm not sure

    New Doe pulling fur?

    I thought the same thing so I threw some hay in a nest box & put some of the fur she pulled in there & tossed it in her cage before I left for work tonight.... maybe it'll be full of babies when I get home in the morning "fingers crossed" lol

    Doe losing kits

    Pastor Dave... maybe she wasn't producing enough milk to support the growing kits past the 2 that are currently alive, the older they get the more milk they need obviously which could explain them being plump initially then progressively fading

    16ga or 14ga?

    I was thinkn about building 30x30 stacking cages & I have californians & new zealands so I should probably go with the heavier gauge then huh... is there a better place than bass equipment to buy the wire that you know of?

    16ga or 14ga?

    I'm curious if 16ga wire is OK to use for floor wire as its $50 a roll cheaper for a 100' roll than 14ga
