Nest box News

We had 2 Does kindle this week, GBF's Tinsel bred to SRR Bunny Boy Blue, and FP Nugget bred to GBF's Contraband.

Tinsel had 4 kits, but 2 were DOA, 1 was a peanut, and 1 was alive and kicking.  Sadly the peanut died at 4 days old.  It was really hard to have this happen.  Tinsel is a broken and so is Bunny boy, but the little peanut was going to be a full fledged broken.  The baby that did survive, and is doing well, appears to be a charlie.  We will see when he/she gets older if he has enough color to show.

Nugget was a 1st time mom, and unfortunately lost all 6 of her kits.  She pulled fur and had them in the nest box like she was supposed to, and we even had a heat lamp on them.  But it just wasn't meant to be.  They were all black.  I was really wanting to see how these turned out.

So out of 10 babies born, one survived.

We bred Broo's Kaci and LL Bridgitte both to Karrot Kreek Carson this week.  Hopefully we will have better luck with these litters.

I will post pics of our new little charlie as soon as he is old enough.

Until next time, Beth.
