We are not likely to give too muchattention to the care and managementof the doe, especially during her breed-ing periods. Prolific as she is she willdeteriorate and suffer unless she has thevery best of care. We shouldconstantly bear in mind thather way of life, in captivity,is necessarily artificial as compared withthe wild state. For this reason sheneeds constant attention and intelligentmanagement. The best results can besecured only by experience and attentiveobservation.
