Bella - January 7, 2012 kindles
Bella had five kits.
She's such a sweet gal she let me poke in around her to steal one to give to Nicky before she was done and she didn't care.
She had five kits... three chestnuts, one chin/blue?, one harlequn/mapgie.. not sure yet on all the colours.
Dad is AeroBar.

three kits, one doa.
Two chocolate kits, fostering one from Bella so everyone stays nice and warm.
Rustic has proven himself a daddy. hopefully these kits will be nice ones. Time will tell.

The boys are weaned
last night I rearranged some rabbits.
I took half of biscuit's litter away...all the boys.
They ranged in weight from 2 - 2.75 lbs. They should all start doing better now that they are out of the mob. :)
Makes it easier for Biscuit to get around as well. As soon as I can I'll be getting the girls away from her as well.
These are Biscuits boys.

Sadness
The guinea pig babies I had worked hard on saving didn't make it through. :(
I had expected the small one to die as it simply didn't have a lot of 'oomph' to it. But the biggest one had been eating and pooping and being all guinea pig-ish so it was coming along nicely. So I was very sad and very disappointed to see that it didn't make it.
Total bummers.

Chattering a bit
So looks like we finally have some snow again. :)
Nice to have snow, it helps to hold down the tarps over the winter.
Jets' pups are currently looking good. Both are female. hopefully they will continue to do well.
Biscuits' kits will soon to need to get out of the cage. 11 kits and one big momma make for a very crowded cage.
I'll be posting Janice's kits up on Kijiji soon. Not sure as there has been lots of interest expressed in them without posting them up. I have someone interested in purchasing the kit I was planning to hold back so I need to make a decision on that.

Jet - pups December 31, 2011
four pups born. One honking huge one. two were DOA.
She died as a result.
Raising up two kits that survived birthing.
For a sow that was not supposed to be bred - and came as a rescue from folks "allergic" to her, this sow was bred before getting here as running with the boar would have had her due mid-January at the very earliest. This kind of stuff angers me.
Makes me wonder what she was bred with....
anyways, her two kits are looking good. Lively, warm since they are with a boar and a sow. Both will do good at teaching the pups what to eat. :)
Feeding them hay, pumpkin with mashed pellets, will get oatmeal in the mornings. We'll see how they go.
