    First Kindle is a Labor Day Special of 13 kits!

    Thank you so much! The formula arrived today, but like you said it has corn syrup solids in it! The nipples I ordered definitely were not small enough, so I tried a dropper and they weren't interested in that either! So, I took the mama and laid her on her back, my husband brought the underfed...

    Good morning/afternoon all! I bred my doe for the first time on 8/7....32 days later she gave birth to 13 kits! I couldn't believe it when I saw how many there were! I'm a bit concerned as to whether she will be able to feed all of them. If I have to bottle feed any, what is recommended for...

    Early nesting behavior question!

    I'm anxiously waiting...I'm also not completely sure that she's even pregnant, but we will know in the next few days! I've had her box in there & have cleaned it out a couple of times, no fur pulling yet!
