Rain stopped!!! We have kits, don't have an exact count yet because I didn't want to spend to long and stress pepper. I saw about 4 or 5 black or steel. And two brokens but I know there was more in the back of the box. Pics are not very good I will try to get better ones in a couple days.

Here are more pics! I counted 7 but the blacks kept moving so that might change when I actually take them out. 5 blacks 2 broken. The mom is taking great care of them.

Hoping to have a litter of silver foxes next but my doe Charlotte is being very stubborn and won't breed :barniehave tried 3 times and she ain't having it. I think I might try the apple cider vinegar trick just to see if it works.

Yay!!! Your broken black seems to have good markings.
Your doe Charlotte may be having a false pregnancy. Watch for defensive behavior, fur pulling, nest making, etc, and breeding after that. If all else fails, try a forced mating.

Not sure what the ACV trick is, but mine get 2Tb per gallon of drinking water all the time. How does this trick work?

She won't let the buck breed her she keeps running. Someone try bringing the buck to her instead.
