i realize how addictive breeding can be now my babies are growing but i wouldnt be any good because i cant part with them lol.. although if id set out to buy them for a reason eg for fur then im sure i would mind then but we already knew before she had them we would be keeping them. so no more balls of fluff for me so i will just use your thread to aaawwwww over lol..

Managed to get a few new pictures this morning of each litter. Both litters are 1 week old.

Peanut's kits- 8 total

Chinzilla's kits- 6 total

Both groups of kits are growing fast-2 weeks old now- noticed that Chinzilla's kits are starting to open their eyes. Had to put 2 kits back into the nest box- they can get out but not back in yet. Sure glad that they are housed inside we are at 2* with a -15* wind chill and windy.....brrrrrr

Too cute! Love it when their eyes open and they start trying to get out of the nest box, just peeking over the edge. Next week they'll be doing the "I'm in the box, I'm outta the box, I'm in the box" routine... when they are not pestering mom for a free drink.

We're really impressed with Chinzilla- this is her 1st litter and the kits are big and she is doing a great job. We don't go in her box as much as we look at Peanut's litter, Chinzilla is more protective and ready to bat at us!

aww they are beautiful. squiggles kits are now 11 weeks old and she is still feeding them. i took her to get spayed on tuesday and they wouldnt do it because shes still full of milk and feeding the kits, shes now in a pen in my living room until she dries up. i thought momma buns couldnt wait to be rid of the kits, shes got separation anxiety lol..

we've seen that each doe acts differently when it comes to their litter- our does start weaning their kits around 3-4 weeks.

i wish she would. its not even the kits chasing her. its mom stamping her feet at them to feed and the shoving them under her, she chases them into the feeding corner, i really want this spay to go ahead lol..

that's interesting, usually the doe is moving away from the kits!
