Just wanted to get everyones appinions on this, Until now we have always had 2 does birth together, but just recently we have had a few does that have had a few days between them and it look as if the younger pups are not being fed as much if any...
Another problem ive noticed with one of our cream litters is some of the smaller pups were also not being fed, as a result i had to cull them as they were horribly skinny. From a litter of 14, thats 7 per mum so far we have lost 6 cause they was just not growing, on the plus side the remaining pups are very fat.
Not sure yet if we will continue to birth does together in the future.
