R2D2 (the doe who's been nesting for about 10 days...) is still holding off...has a very nice straw nest she adds to daily...
kind of driving me crazy. Today is day 33...but did expose her at about day 12...thinking she wasn't bred the first date...but I have heard of late kindles... just haven't had them go over 31-32 days. But if she did take the 2nd ....then she's been nesting for a very long time.... I guess either she is or isnt...no signs of distress or dystocia...just driving me nuts.

Well nothing so far for R2D2...She faithfully makes a hay nest nightly...this is day 28 (take 2)..she's been nesting for 16 days...

Boxes in today for a VL and Polish also. Celestia the polish immediately started a stash!
On a sad note I culled Chester...he had an ever so slight split penis....will have to cull Padame his dam too.... and Winifred his sister..both are preg.hoping he didn't settle the does bred I exposed to him... in any case may keep a any normal show quality bucks from their litters....but will be culling the rest...
also lost 1 of Specials...it got out of the box and cage...so they are in a deeper box. DS couldn't find them it's that deep. Keep those guys in until it warms up!! Their eyes are starting to open.
