Updates

It has been a very busy month.  Rico made a beautiful nest but didn't have any babies.  Expo had 6 babies from Creme on 12/15.  She still has 4 - 3 broken torts and 1 solid tort.  Amber had 6 babies from Lane on 12/22.  She lost 3 of them.  But the other 3 are doing well.  Whiskers laid her first litter on wire Monday night.  Sugar had 1 baby last night.  Unfortunately, it is a peanut.  So we will lose it within a few days. 

Our first two litters from Lane are approaching 4 months old now.  They are looking awesome!  We are so pleased to have little Lane babies in the barn.  Cammie's litter with Sub-Zero is looking promising.  We have a siamese sable in the barn again from Ash.  Siamese sables are gorgeous. 

We have three does due in January.  Hopefully, it will warm up for a few days soon.  Then we can do more breeding.

Pictures



We were trying to get some good pictures today for our website today.  But there always a few hams in the group.  Frazier just wanted to stand up and look around.  RJ just wanted Philip's attention.  We also took some pictures of Gracie's litter.  The litter includes a fawn, a chinchilla and a frosty.  The frosty was hiding at the bottom of the basket.

Unexpected Babies

It is supposed to be 17 degrees tonight, 5 degrees tomorrow night and 3 degrees on Wednesday night.  We could get 8 - 12 inches of snow tomorrow.  I think winter has come to stay.  When I came home tonight Rico had pulled fur in her cage.  But we weren't expecting her to have babies.  Maybe Lane successfully bred her when I had my back turned last month.  We should know in a few days.  It would be a nice surprise if we had unexpected babies. :>
