When a doe is about to give birth how long to you remove the buck for? My buck lives with the does but I don't want to have back to back prgnencies. Do does start having regular heat cycles right away or do they stop until the litter is done nursing?

I think they can mate straight after they've given birth.I dont know how much rest they need though

I was told that just after giving birth they have a post partun oestrus (spelling???) where they can get pregnant straight away again. but then that passes and their heat cycles starts again 2-3 days after the babies are weaned.

they will mate immediately after the litter is born,remove him a week before the babies are due if thats not what you want to happen.
