My one and only Fuzzy lop doe had her firsthealthy litter last night! She had a litter last month, all DOA. Thisis my first fuzzy lop litter in almost SIX years! It's abouttime,I miss having fuzzy babies around.
Fiona started pulling fur last night and had her babies a few hourslater. She initially had 4, one I put to sleep because she had a hardtime having it and had bit a leg and ear off. The other three were cold(two in nest box, two on wire), but I easily warmed them up. I keptthem inside for the night on a heating pad cause they were having ahard time regulating their temperature at first. I checked on Fionabefore I went to bed last night and she was cleaning herself up andseemed to be done having babies. But, when I went this morning to takeher 3 babies out to her to nurse, she had 3 more. All in the nest box.One was a peanut, one looked like a larger kit she had a hard timewith, and the third looked healthy but probably got too cold withoutthe warmth of its litter mates. So, she had SEVEN total!! Itty bitty,cobby Fiona had SEVEN! I am so thrilled with the three surviving- toobad I didn't get out there sooner for the other healthy one. But I'lltake three, I'm not complaining!!
She was so relieved to see me bring her three healthy babies out to herthis morning. She promptly jumped in the nest box and nursed them, theyall have full bellies. She seemed so worried- but calmed down once sherealized she had some live babies left. She made a beautiful nest. Fornow, I have them inside- but will probably give them back to her tokeep for good soon. These babies are so petite and cute! Butmaybe I'm just used to big old Checkered Giant babies, lol!
I have no clue what color they are. All but one baby was born solidpink. One of the dead ones looked greyish (not as dark as blue), but itcould have been from bruising, it was the big kit. I am guessing theywill be oranges, torts, fawns, etc... since they are so light frombirth? It will be fun to see what I've got!
