After the birth of the fawn occurs, the females do not return to the herd for at least 30 days and for most of the days the mother is separated from the fawn, returning only to feed the fawn. The nursing period lasts about 4 months and happens every 4 hours each day. Rumination is a critical part of development in the fawn's life, and this develops about 2 to 3 weeks into the fawn's life. Later, the fawn will start to follow its mother, and they will finally rejoin the herd together. At around 12 months, the fawn is independent.
