Hey all!
My doe has had a litter of kits. Her 2nd litter.
All 4 have survived thus far.
My question is... why is there such a tremendous size difference? 2 of them are a very nice size. The other 2 are maybe a 3rd of that... is that normal? I know they fan get pregnant with 2 litters at once.. and while I tried to keep her separate, my one male has figured out how to open the door to her hutch.. could it be from 2 different pregnancies? Just norn at the same time... or is that normal?
Her last litter (which was also her first) was the same way. Surprisingly.. the larger kits were the ones who were stillborn. (Yes I did make sure to warm them and make sure they weren't alive. I know sometimes they seem dead but aren't.) The smaller ones survived and are now almost 6 months old.
I digress... is the drastic size difference normal or...??
Thank you in advance!
