Dulcie & Wee Walter's Babies - 5 kits
Born August 23, 2019

Dulcie kindled four kits today!  At this point they all appear to be of similar size, so they should hopefully be evenly matched in their ability to get to Mama at meal times.  During our initial brief examination, there appear to be three babies carrying the agouti gene (most likely opal and chestnuts) and one kit who doesn't.  These babies are first cousins and half-siblings to Tabitha's babies, so it will be interesting to see the similarities and differences in the two litters. 

8/24/2019 Update...Sometime during the night Dulcie kindled one more baby in her nest box, bringing her number of kits to five!  That was a very pleasant and unexpected surprise!  We'll have to take some new pictures already.  LOL

8/29/19 Dulcie's babies look great on Day 6 of their lives.  Colors are a bit of a mystery still.  There are probably a couple opals and a chestnut or two, but the self-colored baby is going to be a challenge.  It's not black and it's not blue.  Chocolate is a possibility because Walter has a strong showing of chocolate on his pedigree, but this little Bun looks darker than chocolate, so I'm wondering if it a seal or Siamese sable. It's still early days, so there's plenty of time to figure out this particular mystery.  :)

9/8/19  Some sad news to report today.  Dulcie's seal/Siamese sable baby died.  It looked as though Dulcie landed on it when jumping in and out of the nest box and possibly broke its neck.  We are very sad over this loss because it was such a sweet, happy little Bun.  :(  We are just glad that it died quickly and did not suffer.  The other four babies are doing very well. 

Plum Bun & Mayhem's Babies - 2 kits
Born August 12, 2019 at 10 PM

Plummy decided to provide some entertainment during tonight's cage-cleaning time.  She hopped into her nest box about halfway through our cleaning chores and kindled two fat, squirmy babies.  It looks like she has a solid black and a solid blue.  This is her smallest litter, ever.  Her largest was eight babies and her smallest until now was four kits, so we hope she enjoys being an attentive mama to this small, manageable family.  :)

8/30/19 Plum Bun's babies have been named Goodness & Gracious.  Goodness is the blue VM and Gracious is the sweet solid black.  These two had me laughing so hard while I was trying to film them today.  They kept running in opposite directions and needed to be put back in the middle of the table repeatedly.  Enjoy their video!

9/10/19  Goodness & Gracious are doing really well.  Goodness is a bit more outgoing at this point, while Gracious tends to hold back and be more content with cuddles and pets. 

Goldilocks & Wee Walter's Babies - 3 kits
Born August 3, 2019

Four kits were born to our newest doe, Hook's Hollands' Goldilocks and our buck Wee Walter early this morning.  All are solid colored, but it will be a few days before we can discern what those colors actually are.  One of the babies is a bit on the small side, but we have no concerns about peanuts as Wee Walter is a false dwarf buck.  We hope the little one will catch up to his/her litter mates soon. 

8/4/2019...The smallest baby didn't make it.  :(  It was badly bruised and most likely had internal injuries as a result of the birth process.  Color-wise, I'm seeing all agouti family...2 black and a blue, so perhaps two chestnuts and an opal or squirrel?

8/10/19...The babies' fur is growing in pretty quickly.  Looks like two chestnuts and an opal.  :)

9/10/19...We have two bucks and a doe!  They have been given names beginning with the letter 'N', so we're doing alliteration this time.  :)  The chestnut doe is Nellie, the opal buck is Norman, and the chestnut buck is Nibbles.  They will be listed at the end of the week.  We will begin contacting the families on out waiting list first.
