Arrange the bedding mate- rial to make a comfortable nest (fig. 17), and place the warmed young in it. The doe usually will take over from there. The doe's fur is easily removed at kindling time, and you can pull enough from the doe's body to cover the litter in the nest. It is advisable to keep extra fur on hand for such cases. Remove some fur from nests where does have pulled an excessive amount and keep it handy in a bag or box so it will remain clean. It is not necessary to sterilize or to deodorize the fur, or take any special measures to prevent the doe from smelling the strange fur. A day or two before kindling, the doe usually consumes less food than normally. Do not disturb her, but make her as comfortable as possible. You may tempt her at that time with small quantities of green feed. This will have a beneficial effect on her digestive system. Most litters are kindled at night. After kindling, the doe may be restless. Do not disturb her until she has quieted down. Complications at Kindling Time Anterior, or breech presentation of youn^ at birth is normal. If the doe is in proper condition for kindling, complications are rare. Pregnancy, however, makes a heavy demand on the doe and lowers her vitality, making her more susceptible to disease.
