Mama Doe
A girl at work asked me a question which I didn't know the answer to so thought I would put it to you guys.She has a youngish neutured buck at the minute but has aquired a 3 month old doe.How does she go about bonding?This is her plan,please tell me if you think this would work as I have no idea.She has the baby in a dog crate in the same room as her free range buck so they can sniff between bars & mix senses.No problems so far.She intends of having doe spayed at 5months so presumed they couldn't bond before.I said I thought would be ok to mix smells like this as doe is going into bucks environment & they will have 2 months pre spay to sniff between bars.I hope I haven't given wrong advice cos ive never done this myself.After she is spayed how long before bonding can begin?And as they can already smell each other would it be a case of just letting them out together for short periods to see how things go or what should she do?Any advice would be grateful as Jill did my bonding & ive only had single buns before that so this is an area I really haven't a clue.
