Another litter

I had one more litter that was born yesterday. :)

Mikey x Aquene - 3 kits born last night! She actually had 4 but one didn't make it. I'm still thrilled because they all should be sable points. ;)

This is the first time I've had so many sable points in the nestboxes at once. I have 7 sable points between 2 litters. Wow! Like I mentioned in the last blog, Melody's kit looks like a Siamese sable. After thinking about it a little bit harder, it might actually be a seal. I hope not though. I'd much rather have a Siamese sable. I'm bound to find out sooner or later though. Its eyes just opened a couple days ago. :) How cute!

I'll keep you posted as the week goes on. Mango and Sunkist are due soon as well. Sunkist is starting to nest but Mango isn't doing much of anything. We'll see what happens!

Nuthin' much

There really isn't anything new to ramble about this time. I just figured since I haven't blogged lately I might as well find something to ramble about. ;)

I think I forgot to mention that Pam had babies. I was so thrilled I can't believe I'm just now blogging about it. She had 4 sable points in her first litter - no peanuts, no problems. They're all healthy and doing great! I was totally shocked because she is a tiny doe - I'm guessing around 2.00 lbs or so and I would have never expected her to have 4 kits! I haven't had any babies lately let alone sable points, so I plan to keep all of them (both bucks and does) for further evaluation. :)

As for Melody's baby, it's doing just fine. :) At first, I thought it was going to be a sable point but now I'm almost certain that it's a Siamese sable. Which is good - I'm not too bummed (even though I would have much rather had a sable point) but, hey, you can't have everything. I don't have any breedable Siamese sables, so if the kit is a doe, I'll probably end up keeping her. On the other hand, if it's a buck, I'll just have to hold onto him to see how well he develops. I'm kinda picky about my bucks as most of you already know... :)

I have a few more litters that are due either this weekend or early next week. Aquene is one of them so I'll be blogging when she has babies. :)

Litters!

This is the very first litter I've had in a long time. Since November I think. Mel (we call her "Melody") kindled on Valentine's Day! To my surprise, she had 2 live kits. It doesn't sound like a lot, but if you haven't had any kits in 3 months and your does aren't taking, it tends to be unexpected. Although, she did feel pregnant but I couldn't tell for sure. One is a peanut and the other is big and healthy. I'm not really sure what it is though. It's not a black so it might be a sable point or tort. Hopefully anyways. :)

Pam is due on the 19th. I'm just about certain she's bred. Her belly is almost touching the cage! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she won't have a hard time or have stillborns, because she's a first-timer, too.

I realized that I haven't blogged in forever! I'm so sorry! I went to the doctor yesterday because I wasn't feeling good and it turns out I have a sinus infection. Just what I want. I feel horrible! It's been running through the family so it has to be something blooming in the air that we don't like. Speaking of air, we are having beautiful weather! Spring must be coming for sure!

That's everything for now.
