Another Question

[Black Tie Farms]

I think one of the problems of all 9 dieing is that they were squashed, the nest was pretty flattened by the time I got to them this morning,and they looked a little bruised. Is this another first time mother thing or is this something I am going to have to keep an eye out for in the future with her? (I didn't have this problem with my other doe) and If so what can I do to prevent the next litter from being injured??

Hummm.....How big was the box? And how high does she have to jump in to get in the box?

Its a metal box from the farm store, she doesn't have to really "jump" to get in and out. The box is 18 1/2" long, 10 1/2'' wide and the very front of the box is only 5'' high. the top is all open, well except the back 5'' has a top on it. it's identical to the one my other doe used and she didn't seem to have any problems, and it never seemed to be to small.

Then it is most likely a first time mom thing.
