When should i expect the babies to be born? **Day 33 still no kits**

Yes. I have and I also had a professional do it. We think there are 3 or 4 in there. She has been doing some serious nesting since yesterday night. She also keeps licking her stomach and her dewlap.

Then, yea, she'll probably kindle tonight.

Remember - if you keep stalking her she'll never do it lol!

She does give me the evil eye when ever I go in there. But she seemed very thankful for the hay.

It is day 32 and she still has not kindled.

It is now day 33. When will she have her babies?

There is no way to know. Sorry, I know it's frustrating. Now is a good time to go back to your calendar and find the day she mated. It's easy to miscount, so re-count and be sure of your dates. The day AFTER she mated is "day 1". Count from there and see what today is for certain.

Other than that, always keep in mind that not all litters make it. Some die in utero. When that happens, that can mean she keeps them inside an extra few days and delivers the dead babies sometimes on day 35.

I felt them kicking in side her, and I spied on her all last night through a video cam and she kept licking her underside. Could it have anything to do with the amount of times I go in the barn to check on her? I went in alot yesterday. I have only gone in twice today.

Step away from the nest box! Some does will WAIT for some privacy. I check a doe once a day in summer (when feeding/watering) and twice a day in winter (when feeding/watering).

If I don't see wiggling, I slide my hand into the nest box. Then I walk away and forget about it.

You're only going to drive yourself - and her - crazy!

Give her a few more days, if today is day 33 than you should be expecting them in the moring. If not give her until day 35 if no babies than she didn't take or they died in her...

I believe that's what mine is doing. Yesterday I sat in the garage and nothing happened. Finally i bugged her cage and went into my house to watch her on the webcam. She started pulling fur and licking her belly. I went out twice this morning (I forgot the water jug the first time) then locked the door. I plan on going back in tonight to turn the camera back on.
