First litter of Silver Fox babies

[Roll farms]

I bought DH a bred doe for our anniversary last month....she had kits today.

He's such a nervous nelly he won't let me check / count them, but I see a wiggling nest.

Wow, that is so neat! Hope to see pics of the little ones!

Tell "Nervous Nellie" to let you check to make sure babies are OK.

Tell him Congratulations on his first Silver Fox babies for me.

Can't wait to hear the news of healthy kits.

No no no no no! That's cheating! My crazy doe still hasn't given me any good kits or good mothering! No fair....

x2 K is most definately right.... you need to take a looksy.

We lost a kit today, he found it outside the nest box, but the fur is still wiggling so we're hopeful.

If I can sneak in there when he's not looking tomorrow I will get a count and report back. Shhhhhhh!

Hopefully they do well! I am having to cull my Lop Buck because this is the FIRST time I have ever not been able to get kits...........ever

A lot of us are having a hard time with our bucks as the heat made many sterile for 90 days. Your NOT alone BarredBuff. Chickens are slow laying, rabbits are having a hard time getting pregnant. Its the goofy weather we have all been having. My doe that always has 7 or 8 had one large baby which died. Its been rough.


Good luck on your babies of Silver Fox babies....... I hope you can get in there and do a head count.
new babies are great!

So Kim have you checked to see how many Kits you have?

 

[Roll farms]

Nope. I'm still not allowed. And since he's layed off now, he's always RIGHT THERE any time I go near the bunny barn.

Protective 'mothers' can be so touchy....*sigh*
