Rebreeding for Spring

It's almost the end of February and I haven't had very much luck with litters. I've only had one litter so far (from Misty Morning) and that's it. I think my main issue was winter, so I'm rebreeding for spring. Hopefully the warmer weather will put everyone in a better mood.

Hope to have some orange kits coming in the nestbox soon! I have 4 does bred by Zip so I'm really getting my hopes up for some orange kits. It was cooler when I bred them, so who knows what will happen .....

I also bred Obese to VJ yesterday. She didn't take when she was bred to Cobalt (which was probably good thing considering I would have had some weird looking mixed breeds) so I think I'll get my very first litter of baby Dwarf Hotots soon! : )

Other than that, nothing much is happening. I did put Cobalt up for sale the other day. I hated to do so, but I have a junior sable point buck to breed with my shaded does, so I honestly can't use him right now. Which is a bummer because he's proven and is such a sweet little guy! I'm really excited to see how his kits in the nestbox will turn out.

Which reminds me, Misty Morning's kits are doing good. They are starting to open their eyes and become very energetic.

That's all for now.
