Well, got a couple of litters coming due in April. Jade and Midnight will both be due and I'm hoping Zazzi got bred since I put her in with Bugs for a few days. I never really count on litters when I do that, but I am prepared for kits should they come
Today saw Lani bred to Tank, so if successful it will be first litters for both of them! So for May 1st! If they're not successful, she'll be bred to Bugs for her 2nd chance and I'll probably put Zap with Tank for his 2nd chance, and Jade for his 3rd and final if he fails. Hopefully, that won't be necessary. Though, if he's successful with Lani, I'll probably breed him to Zap anyway
Zap's babies are still doing great, so I'm very pleased with her performance. She's a keeper for sure
Updated pics of Zap's kits. They're about 2 weeks old now. I think I'm getting better at sexing, since I can already tell boys and girls! Usually I don't even try to check until 3-4 weeks old, so I'm impressed with myself! (Just hope I'm right. Of course, I'll check again later!)
Yes, Bugs throws broken grey, steel, and sometimes solid grey. I was actually really surprised with the ratio of color to REW in this litter! Usually only 2 or 3 of 8 or more are colored, but there are only 2 or 3 REW of 9 this time!
Today, Jade pulled a TON of fur, so hoping to be greeted by a bunch of kits from her in the morning.
Midnight kindled on Tuesday! 4 adorable little Dwarf kits Here's a pic of the daddy, Fly, our newest addition now that he's proven himself. He's a purebred black otter Netherland Dwarf.
And a few updated pics of Zap and Bugs' kits:
Well, Jade kindled last night/this morning. No wonder she took an extra day and looked as though another rabbit had gotten in and exploded fur! Ten kits from her!
I'm also expecting Lani's first litter on Thursday, so I'll do pictures then.
Well, Lani never kindled, so I'm going to give her another day or two, then breed her to Bugs. That way I'll know if it's her or my new buck, since both are first breeders.
Midnight's babies are growing. They're so tiny though! At 1 and 1/2 weeks, they've just made it to the size Jade's kits were at about 3 days ago!
So 1 little tort, 1 black, and 2 black otter like their daddy
And meet Jayla, progeny from Bugs and Jade from last year. Hopefully Tank will succeed with her since I obviously won't breed her to Bugs! She turned out beautifully, if I do say so myself
