Truly, Peg, I don't know how you deal with all of that cuteness and beauty! :thud:
Sweet little babies...
Hmm....I think I need to update you folks with more pictures soon - those babies aren't exactly "sweet" or little. At nighttime - we have to use the broom to "herd" them to bed and say, "Bedtime". Tonight we had one of them to bed and were about to go looking for the 10th one when he/she heard food and came running. Robin went to herd him towards the cage and he ran past her and gave her a dirty look like, "I know where my bed is....stay out of my way...".
I want to say something about the new girls but I am afraid it will come out wrong. I'm going to try to say it anyway.
I'm speaking right now purely from a breeding standpoint...not about personality - only about body type, color, etc.
Comparing these girls to my girls (except Nyx) are like comparing Time watches to Rolex. The new girls are the Rolex....and Nyx is an "almost-rolex" - possibly a full Rolex. (I can't work with her enough to pose her).
Personality wise - we still need to work with them a bit. Calypso did come to me for a couple of pets today and Harmony and I had to have a "I am the big kahuna bunny" talk where I held her while she fought me and kicked. I explained to her that we don't act like that in this house...and talked quietly to her until she calmed down. For a bit I was afraid she was gonna tear me up - she was furious with me. But - about half an hour later I saw her watching me and I reached out my hand towards her and she let me pet her once...then flicked me off as she hopped away.
The amazing thing for me about the older litter(s) I have from Sophia and Athena are that they are so different - even within the litter. I'm sure most if not all of them are free from dq's...BUT...not all are ones I'd put on the show table. I really need to look at them this weekend...and decide then how many to keep. Of course, Calamity Jane will be staying here.
