Haven't gone there before, but I've been trying to breed Angel (my FA doe) for almost a year now without success...figure this is worth a try before I give up and start looking for another doe.

What dose ACV do you use in the water?
And how long til it 'takes effect'?

I put 1 teaspoon in their water bottle if I'm trying to get them to breed. Not sure how long it takes.. about a day? I haven't had much luck with it.. but I don't try it often enough to say.

I pour the acv in the acv bottle lid and put 1/2 filled lids in their water and 1 on their pellets.

My doe's weren't receptive before using acv.. so i started with acv and i've been seeing result within a couple of days.
Some doe's started chasing eachother and the (spayed) buck. So i bred Arika first and she cooperated, then Disney didn't want to leave the buck alone and tried to mount him so i bred her too where she lifted. A few days later, Amber the lowest rank doe provocated, chased and mounted the (spayed) repeatedly whereafter he got hyped up and mounted her back vigorously. She lifted way up, like a cat in heat. I've never seen a doe go this far.. she really surprised me. But i didn't breed Amber her, not until june/july.
She is too small for her age and needs to grow out more and her body has taken a big hit by the cold winter weather where she lost a lot of fur on her back and hindlegs.

So i must say it works for me, their attitude and will to breed changed from NOT to HOT after a couple of days.
I was waiting for months to get them receptive until i used acv.
