Maybe they are maturing? I've never owned a doe before. Maybe pregnant? If so, watch you don't hold them two weeks before kindling. You could hurt the kits. I would suggest trying to feel for kits, but then again, you said you were new, and you might hurt the doe and her unborn kits. I wouldn't know how to do it either, but breeders do.

Maybe someone who has more experience with does will answer? I'm sorry I couldn't be of further help.

Well putting cages realized I need more so Iwent to get more, ther eare I think no more in the Northern Va and WV area TSC stores. ANyway I'll post up when I am done with everything I have a pretty good slide show working now. The question I have is when moving some bunnies to their permament housing I felt ridges in one females belly and turning her over I swear she has teets and it feels like little marbles but I wasnt pushing hard for just that fear. What do you guys think?
No joke, I would immediately put nest boxes in every doe's cage (changing out the bedding every few days if they use it at a bathroom), caged individually, until each doe has passed day 35 from the day you got them and also from the last day a buck had any access to them. Does are often already bred long before they go to auction and often kindle the same day or shortly after being purchased. If the marbles you felt felt bigger than a dropping size, those are most likely kits.

Was it C rings you ran out of? MortonJones.com carries them online.
