I cleaned the nest boxes when their eyes opened as usual. Unfortunately a couple days later a few of Flutter's had crusted eyes. I cleaned, pulled the wooden nest boxes, and subbed empty, sanitized, plastic kitty litter buckets. All but one cleared up right away. Unfortunately one didn't do as well and we had to get medication. It is starting to improve. So soon the babies can start mingling. We got the front plastic on for when the cold wind blows, and got a shop light wi

Well the babies are getting and their eyes are open. We have tagged their ears (with Sharpie). Still 19 babies. They are growing well. We have a nice variety of colors.
The babies are doing well. Both litters have nice fat tummies and are getting big. You would never know that they are 24 hours apart (at birth). It looks like we have chinchilla colored in both litters, a couple blacks, a couple steels, maybe a chestnut, and some white and/or ermine again. It's going to be a nice variety again. Oh yeah... An we have a new "skunk face"! This one looks like it will be a GTS like the last one ( a few litters back).
Well it's day 28 for Muppet & Flutter again. (Charlene refused to lift, and still giving Honey a little more time to grow) Remmy had 1 fall with Flutter, he was 5 months old, so not holding our breath, but hopeful. Argent had 3 falls with Muppet, *fingers crossed*. We have a home lined up for him if he reproves himself, and that will get our buck numbers down (we really do have too many right now). Pictures of babies we've missed over here while we've been busy.
We got the last door on the hutch and the babies separated by sex. The babies are 7 weeks old. We got them all weighed for the 3rd tracking week, and photographed the potential breeders. Those breeders are posted on the "Available" page. They can be picked up next week. W008F will be our newest breeding doe as long as all goes as planed. |
