We bought 4 flemish giants in march from an exotic animal auction, so I dont know there ages. 3 does & 1 buck. The one does was expecting when we got her and she had 7 kits, my problem is, I cant get the other 2 does breed, I keep thinking they are, but when there due dates come around there is nothing. I always bring the doe to the buck cage, and then put her back in there a couple of hours later or the next day. I have tried to feel to see if there is anything, but the flemish Giants are all new to me. My mini rexs are alot easier to tell. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

I do watch them, he doesn't actually fall over thou, just kind of leans over to the side. When I would put the doe's in there the second time, they would nip at him, so I thought they were breed.

Thanks Pat & dale anne, We think that the buck is too old, just humps alot and then stops and sniffs or pulls the hair off of the doe, doesnt ever fall over or make any kind od noises. We only use him with one doe a day, then wait about a week.
I dont think the does are too young, the one had the litter 2 weeks after we got her and the other two both have the skin under chin. One has alot. Maybe she is too old too.
Has anyone ever used cider vinegar in their water to get them in mood or wheat germ to increase fertility?

We did purchase a a 3 month old sandy buck this weekend. With papers. So at least we know how old he is. What is the proper age to breed with him?
