Lionheads are my favorite breed (nobody tell Tiny that....he's my Flemish Giant who acts as "The BunFather" to the herd even though he's neutered).
One of Sport's babies got out of the nest box and got hurt. It looks like it will make it - but it won't have ears (or muchof ears).
When we found it last night - part of me wanted to "let it go"....I've never had this happen before and I couldn't even look at it or touch it. But my kids warmed it up and loved on it and got it cleaned up a bit and put it back with the litter and mama nursed it and accepted it again.... My daughter (my kids are 21) made me hold it today (she tricked me) and I cried and cried....poor little baby. Of course it will always have a home here with us....
Anyway - here are some happier pictures - of my April babies that are growing up here in May!

Peek-a-boo
and from the other end of the monitor...a littermate!
Of course - the best one in the litter is non showable(color). I believe from what I've been told that this is a sable point marten
I just love the wide face and little ears - this is what I'm trying for w/ my rabbits.....
This is the pick of the litter below - of course it turns out to be a BUCK when I wanted a doe!
Mom is a vienna marked siamese sable (bred to a sable point marten dad)....you can see the snip of white on one nose. The pick of the litter is the middle baby.
This is an interesting litter. I bred black otter to black otter and came up with....black otter, chocolate otter, blue otter and.....chocolate tort otter (which looks like orange). You can see here how the chocolate tort otter is already practicing the bunny butt move!
At first I'd thought the blue otter was a lilac otter...oh well! Hey...at least I got chocolate otter!
Toys? We get toys? We thought we just got to chew on each other's fur!
Hope you enjoyed the photos!
