I am not happy, I have a buck heavy litter, 6 pups only one of them is a doe. I have another 2 litters which have had to birth together as I ran out of cages :roll:
anyway I can't give bucks away I've tried and tried but no one wants them, so my husband and I have come to a big decision, we will have to cull the bucks, I feel so bad I have never done it before Dom did 2 for me last time as I couldnt bring myself to do it, but I can't keep taking them to him. One litter is 5 days old and they all ready seem to have their own little characters which makes it quite hard the other litters are 1 and 3 days old which I can cope with doing as they seem so less aware, but their colour hasnt come through, oh its so hard to know what to do. Depending on how many does are in the latest litters I will have to foster some over to the mum with one baby doe I think. Can anyone make me feel better about what I am going to have to do? :cry:

Well I did it :( still feel a bit numb but I'm sure it will ware off. I kept a few bucks as most of the litter will go to the pet shop, but even the pet shop doesnt like taking too many bucks.
Out of the two latest litters I had 14 does and nine bucks which is quite amazing as one doe had 14 pups and the other 9 pups! Will check again in a few days to check I havent got any hidden bucks. The bucks I kept I fostered off to Velvet who had one doe.
