Some of Brendan's Netherland Dwarf Does seem to be late bloomers, we usually try to breed them soon after they turn senior-(6 months old) but some of them are not interested at all, and are very stubborn. Last year at the OH mini convention, I picked up 2 Nethies for Brendan.....Yogi & a REW doe, we named Spazz! lol If you ever see her, you'll know why we named her that! lol She flips out and runs really fast circles in her cage, and is very hard to catch. Spazz is one of those late bloomers, we tried several times to get her bred-with no luck. She turned 1 year old Jan 27th. Since Spring is in the air, I took her out yesterday to check her and noticed her vent was bright red-which is an indicator that she is ready to breed. Since she runs in circles, we decided to try table breeding. Table Breeding worked, and we were able to get her bred several times! YAY, finally!!!!
Hopefully things will go well, but I also made sure to breed one of my Hollands....just in case we need to foster.
