Summer Breeding

Sometimes I think we should just skip summer breeding.  It is so disappointing to breed and have misses or lose several babies.  But 3 months is a long time to go without babies. :)  Since May 28th we have bred  8 does.  2 have been misses.  Raz had 8 babies and 1 survived.  Her surviving baby, Slinky, is looking wonderful.  Rocky had 3 - 1 doa, 1 peanut and the 3rd baby died at 5 days old.  Amber had 2 - both doa.  Bluebell had 2 - 1 peanut and 1 doa.  Fortunately, 2 litters were very successful. Charlotte had 4 kits and only 1 was a peanut. These are our first Bomb babies.  Amy actually had 6 with no peanuts. She has 5 different colors in her nestbox!! I was so thankful to have a full litter with no losses.  Fall will be here soon and breeding will be easier again.  Thank goodness!
