My doe had her babies, but one wasn't in the nest. It's freezing cold, but still moving. I currently have it in my bra...don't ask. lol Anyway, what should I do to warm it up?
 
Sounds like a good place to me. It should be warm in no time.

How many babies did she have? For a first time mom hitting the nest with all but one is pretty good.
 
I agree, sometimes you have to check a couple of times a day for the first while just to be sure she doesn't push one out accidently. I think you have probably chose a pretty warm location, plus your heart beat is comforting.
 
Once it's warm, can I put it back in the nest? And cripes, I only saw this one...but we have horse blankets covering her cage, with just the front uncovered, so it's dark. Now I wonder if there may be more not in the nest and I just didn't see them. I barely saw this one, because it blended with the sawdust/hay.
