New Kit
Hi guys... new to this and have a quick question about my suspected pregnant doe?
Background info.
Doe is a large lop but not giant. She is 3 years old never been bred.
Male is 3 years old he’s proven to throw out litters. He too is a mini lop.
They mated on 21st August around 5-6pm for around an hour or so and in that time we noted he had fell off a good few time’s so assumed success. A few days later put them together again and doe was not having any of it she was nipping and running away from him.
For the last week - 8 days she’s been plucking fur and nest making - very messy tho. I placed a nest box in and used her fur to line it.
Today is day 31 and still no kits. Am I to expect kindling tonight day 31 going into day 32? Or is she not pregnant. Tbh I’ve been to nervous to pick her up to feel incase I hurt her. She does seem like she doesn’t want me to touch her belly she moves me with her head, she’s not aggressive towards me tho.
I’m just thinking she’s not pregnant now because of her age. But reading 3 years isn’t necessarily old they can breed til 4?
