Well, its been 36 days and no babies.

I sure thought my doe was carrying. She was looking bigger and bigger every day, but I guess it was all in my head! Reckon it is safe to say she is ready to try to breed again?

Yes. No babies by day 36 you are definitely in the clear to breed her again. Better luck this time around! I'm dealing with a doe that is proving tough to get pregnant myself, so here's good luck for both of us!

Wishing you both luck on your does.

I am having the same issues, she will see the buck tomorrow. crossing fingers.... LOL

I stuck one of our does (Sunny) in with the buck and they both did great. Doe #2 (Honey)? Not so great. The buck keeps trying but he keeps going after Honey's head. She flattens out for him but I'm not sure the buck is succeeding with her (when he does get after the right area!).
Does the buck HAVE to fall off and grunt to be successful? He fell off after mating with Sunny, but not with Honey. Also, he tried to bite Honey's neck during "the act". Is that normal?

Anyway, I'm guessing Sunny is bred...and maybe Honey is pregnant too. It's so hard being new at this! Does it get easier?

Usually that "grunt/fall off" means that he effectively completed his mission.... I would be doubtful if I did not see it.

Nuts. Guess I'll try with Honey again tomorrow morning. Wish she was as easy as her "sister-wife".
