Wether mounting doe?
We have two does and a wether. Just today, I noticed the wether mounting and thrusting on one of the does? Is this normal wether behavior?

Yes it is. Mine do it all the time. Actually, sometimes my does even mount eachother! Sometimes it is play, other times it is dominance.

Yup. Dominance behaviors or just playing.

Wethers can be good for detecting heat.
