Ugh, found a disaster this morning. Phone calendar didn't save the date and Malty lost a litter. But it gets more weird. She had kits at all stages of development that died! Cold snap must of affected her, too? Idk. Bizarre and sad...
Interesting to see progress, though.
About 2wks?

About 1wk.

Mix of fully cooked and parts of other failed kits. Mom and 2 kits ate at these.

The 5 fully formed.

Bottom one, I couldn't tell if it was ready or not...

All of them together, 12 at least.

Got around to weights.

Rex × SF litter. Going great for mutts and pure SF.

Based on SF chart, these are doing okay to great. Mutt chart starts at 6wk.

These two suffered greatly at nest leaving age, 2-3wks. Both lost kits and have skinny & stunted kits. :(
Under weight for Rex chart for both, doing poorly.

Looks like 2nd Quincy litter is trying to keep pace with Tealy's buck's growth history.
