Hi Helene,
I have to agree with everyone else. I would keep the bucks seperate, until the fall, when you want to breed again. I think it's important for them to have a year between kidding, and by keeping the bucks away, you know that you will have that. I don't want to have to worry about accidents either, and after what Eris went through, I think it would be especially important for her to have the recuperation period. As far as the little guy, one thing I might add is that if you could find some sort of little box that he could get into to hide, that works real nice. I have the pygmys, so I keep a couple of tipped over garbage cans (one in the barn, and one in the yard) When the little ones feel threatened, they hide in there, and the bigger ones can't get to them. Good luck.
~Mary
