I took
a look at Keep's Nim's babies today. The fat little creatures have their
eyes open but are still hiding deep in their comfy nest. C'mon babies,
it's not THAT cold outside! Think I will have to serve them an eviction
notice soon. Both are siamese sables and are sired by Keep's Sleep Walker, my golden fleece donation buck. I'm so thrilled to have two litters out of him!
I can hardly KEEP TB's Toy Pansy's babies in their box.I am so ready to get this rabbit out of the house, but I can't do that until the stupid little broken kits realize they need to stay in the box- or until they get eyeballs and can handle cold temps better. Her first litter, two of the three kits kept jumping out of the nestbox and ultimately they died, so I am fighting to keep this second litter alive. Judging by how many times I've caught both brokens out of the box, I think it was a good decision.
Luckily Keep's Lovesong's babies are staying put- she's finally gotten the hang of being a Mama and isn't eating all the hay out of their box. *whew*. I ended up fostering Puzzle's single baby by Orion in to her box, to free Puzzle up and to provide the singleton with some extra warmth that comes with siblings. Lovesong's litter is out of Keep's Fury, who went to live in Michigan. I'm so thankful I have this litter out of him, and that Lovesong is taking care of them.
Now to enjoy my last few days before the NEXT set of kits is due- right around the end of next week. This unseasonably warm weather has been a blessing for breeding and births, but I think the good weather is at an end for us. Sigh.
