Again..... I keep forgetting to blog about babies.
Good news! Obese had her first litter on Friday! She had 4 kits!! Not only this was her first litter but this was my first litter of Hotots, too. :) There may be some bad news to this story though.... I'm not sure Obese is feeding her kits. They feel warm and wiggle somewhat but they seem smaller than normal 2 day old kits. I hope I'm dreaming though because I don't want to lose all 4 kits. Plus, I don't have another doe to foster them to. :o Chocolate Chip was bred to Cobalt on the same day as Obese was bred to VJ, but I think she might have a few problems getting the kits out. :( She was having contractions last night and she was pulling out some fur as well. I went back out this morning and checked on her and the nest was empty. She has me completely puzzled..... ??
The other kits are doing great! I'm still unsure about varieties though.
If the rain clears up this afternoon, I might try to take some pics. I need a pic of the little sable point buck, Voyager. I just put him up for sale this week but he won't be ready until Easter time. He's looking good so far!
