doe not pulling hair

[bs_arnold]

we had a doe have babies and not pull hair, if she doesn't take care of them how do we feed them so they will live?

When she delivers, you need to hold the mom upside down on your lap and let the kits nurse. I do this 2-3 times a day until I KNOW the mom is taking care.

When is she due? Some does do not pull hair until 5 minutes before delivery.
Are they outside in your barn?

she had the babies yesterday and they are inside. I noticed this morning that the babies were moved. We are keeping an eye on her to see if she will take care of them or not. THanks for the great idea, I never thought of that

Sounds good, this time of the year it's still chilly at night. Feel in the nest to make sure they are all snuggled up together and check 2 times a day to see that the bellies look full, you don't want to see "wrinkled" bellies.

How are the babies?

[bs_arnold]

we have been checking on them and their bellies are round like little balls so I asume she is taking care of them. I did die but she kept taking that one out of the nest so I figured there was something wrong with it but the rest are doing well
