Weaning and Fostering
Getting the feeling our Californian doe was a house bun before she was dumped with her beau. Her litter of four, had seven but the biggest three were stillborn or died shortly thereafter, are at least well fed but she's using the nest as a litter box and not cleaning the kits. My main breeding doe is about ready to wean her three (first litter, only had four) but still has plenty of milk.
Well aware that large age gaps between foster kits are discouraged but dare we give her the new ones before her milk dries up?
(First time breeding at small scales, (the new ones weren't planned, she came to us preggers) used to help with 700+ Rex so not used to not having backup litters.
