Looks like we lost two of Dot's kits. Sadly, they're two of the brokens that would have looked just like mom. They were still slightly warm when I found them in the nest a couple of hours ago. I've been warming them, but to no avail. They look as though they were fed, but their bellies are yellowish under the skin. Could it be that she wasn't getting these two to eliminate?
Her other kits seem to be fine, as are Branwyn's (YAY!) and Vixen's. Even Vixen's kit that I found outside the cage yesterday morning and put back with the others is fine. Vixen has pulled even MORE fur (and she had a lot when the kits were born).
No signs yet of Chica or Pola kindling yet, although they've pushed a lot of hay around, and eaten a good portion of it. Today is Day 36 for Pola and Day 34 for Chica. I find it really hard to believe that Pola didn't "take", so I'll keep the nest box in another day or two. Chica I'm not so sure about, but I'll leave her with a nest box, as well.
