Farmin' Girl
Overrun with beasties
Just thought I would share a funny/not so funny story I wish someone would have told me before we had our first litter. My daughter was so excited the week our litter was due, she would check up to 8 times a day, the very last day we had marked for the birth, she went out to check. When she came back in she was hysterical said there were no babies but she knew the doe had given birth because there was "pieces everywhere" and dead baby laying on wire away from the nest. So I go to look and I swear it looked like a massacre had occurred in her cage, to this day it still haunts me. As I removed the dead baby and the "pieces" I had just moved the nest box a little bit and I saw something move. So I dug a little deeper and there they were, 6 healthy kits. My daughter cried tears of joy! I have heard that is not typical for there to be such a mess, but our doe did a lousy job of cleaning up. Good luck!!
Glad to hear you had some babies! The dead ones were probably still-born.
Squeal!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ADORABLE!!!!
