Honestly no, her liver looked normal. Everything looked ridiculously normal.

Wow! I thought they might be on ovary/ fallopian tubes, but never thought those were the ovaries :o They are very hard. Well at least that eliminates that worry lol. Had a doe die about 2-3 hours after giving birth. Had her litter covered in fur and everything. No clue why??? Her mom and...

What are the stone like things in these pictures? One on both sides, close or maybe part of, reproductive organs.

Nice while it lasted, but ended sadly. Checked litter on Thursday and most still looking great, planned on pulling/culling 2-3 the following day if they didn't improve. Woke up with a killer cold and didn't check on the litter until Saturday afternoon. All dead. I figure 1 or 2 finally passed...

I have had trouble getting my purebred Satin does to continue eating through pregnancy, delivery healthy kits, let alone take care of them if they do manage to have a few. Starlight, however, had a decent nest, with fur :P a first, with 13 healthy popples last night. Two are smaller than the...

I'm going to try moving to a smaller nest box. She is peeing and pooping in the front, kits have crawled/ been pushed to the back. Covered with lots of fur and look fed, so hopefully smaller box will work. <br /><br /> -- Sat Aug 22, 2015 7:44 pm -- <br /><br /> As an update, Ashes continued...

The liver looked normal other than color and the huge gallbladder. Would a doe that had been overweight for a year, with several months of recovery from fasting during litters, have a "fatty liver?" Does a fatty liver look like a normal liver other than color? Need to look this up online lol. I...

Ashes, 1/2 Satin, seems to be peeing on her litter. Her first litter she seemed to be doing a great, but only had a singleton and it froze. Bred her back right away and got no kits. Waited a bit due to a barn full of litters. Gave birth to her second litter and 4 alive out of 8. Didn't get them...

This is the infamous "what came first" question. Did our best attempt at an autopsy last night. Please forgive me for not having pictures, it was 10pm and had been a hectic evening :oops: She was just shy of 2 years old, purebred Satin. She had been a great mom for her first litter at 8...

The absolute BEST age! Very cute buns :mrgreen:

I did find an inactive Facebook page for Planks Cage & Supply, but no phone number or address :( Any other ideas? I'm not going to be able to take in a show while I'm back.

We have made some, those in the pics actually came with some cages I bought off of CL :D

Trying to get my Satin otters going. A few pics from 3 different litters. <br /><br /> __________ Tue Jul 28, 2015 8:56 pm __________ <br /><br /> had to share

Anyone know of a place to purchase show carriers (preferably with duratrays) in Northern Michigan or near Ann Arbor? Traveling back for my sister-in-law's wedding and would love to pick up one or two.

What are the differences between these color patterns? In my mind otters have varying shades of tan, martens a more uniform white, concerning the marked areas of the body. Fox I have no clue. Somebody help me out here lol. Ultimate goal is otters btw. Doe birthed my first blue otter kit...

Is a white toenail a DQ in otter variety Satins? I'm assuming the standard would be the same as for selfs, but I can't find anything specific in the SOP book. Thanks for the help!

Fish/luggage scale zeroed out with a 5 gallon bucket hanging on it. Works well for my Satins. When I'm weighing kits under 8 weeks I use an ice cream pail/bucket instead of the 5 gal bucket. Gets me within a 1/4 lb, close enough for me :roll:

I had great success keeping four Satin/Flemish mix in our mud/laundry room. I used wire cages with pans underneath. Taped dog potty pads to the inside of the pans. Make sure rabbits can NOT reach to chew on the pads. The order control was splendid. Easy to fold and dump the poo on top of potty...

Someone please remind me what plants help dry up a doe's milk :cry: Yet another failed litter from Starlight. She tried so hard this time and actually did everything right. Except she quit eating and I think the kits failed to develop fully. Found 12 dead in the nest box today, some were...

This may be too broad of a question, but what causes peanut butter colored poop? Two months ago I had a 3 week old kit die and its stomach and back legs were covered in light tan diarrhea. I now have a doe that is due in 4 days that has light tan colored poop. Some poops look normal other than...
