11 days old

New pictures of the little ones, pictured below at 11 days old. The smallest (the orange) is on the left and the largest is the fawn on the right. They are so sweet right now, I can't wait to see them next week! Little balls of poofy energy :)

Benn naughty and not posted pictures

So now I'm posting some lol. The kits are currently 10 days old and their eyes and ears are open now. The pictures below are the kits at 1 week old though.

The orange kit is the smallest in the litter and the fawn is by far the largest so far.



Orange and Broken Orange being all cuddley and cute.


All 3 kits, 1 week old and absolutely adorable!

"Orange" litter - 3 Days Old

Here's a few shots of the babies today. 3 days old and still doing really great. Their fur is coming in a wee bit more. I can't be certain but it looks as though Kit #1 will be a broken, Kit #2 I'm unsure about at all...maybe a fawn? And Kit #3 I think is going to be solid orange. guess time will tell but that's my best guess at this point. I'm still on cloud 9 about these little ones! Yay Oranges!!! lol

First "orange" litter

Well I am just about as tickled as can be! Just got my first litter from my Orange doe, Cloverleaf's Fe. I had bred her to my Broken Orange buck, Orange Crush. First timer she may be but she handled it like a seasoned pro! Well, maybe slightly over zealous, after she kindled she continued to pull fur and fill the nest to the brim, so I pulled some out to save for winter litters. She started really focusing on fixing up the nest box in the morning, and I was lucky enough to peek at her at nearly 11 pm and see she was in labor. The first kit was breech which worried me but she got him/her out OK and he/she seems to be doing great. The others followed quickly and she spent her time cleaning each one and then stayed in the box about 10 minutes so they could nurse.

Anyways we have 3 darling little squigley kits, I can't tell exactly what their colors will be yet but I am very excited to see how they mature. and on that note in this post I will probably update and post pictures of their progress so I can have it for my breeding records at a later time too. That way in their future litters I can compare and see how their lines mature and when little ones should "pop" so to speak.

Here's some pictures of the kits, the entire litter just after birth and then each one individually the next day:












And then here's photos of the kits on Day 2:
