Thanks for the advice!! She ended up having 6 but 2 were stillborn so she’s got the four for now…she just went back to where she gave birth to the rest tho so no telling if she has more😰
I just reached back out to the previous owners only to find out that they were exposed to a male before we got them… we got them exactly 80 days ago today. So it’s likely that they are further along than we originally thought.
Well, the girls should be old enough to breed. I’m surprised that they are pregnant because we got him at eight weeks old and I was told that he wouldn’t attempt to breed them for the next couple months…yea I’m a little surprised, but not worried because they’re big healthy girls. I’m new to...

Ohhh @blessedfarmgirl im so happy for you! He’s a stunner for sure and will compliment your does beautifully😍 I’m most excited to see him paired with Iris!!!
