yes, now that the orignal 8 are about to leave the world, she presented us with 8 new kits. (1 stillborn, so 7 surviving)
I didn't take pics of the actual kits because, well..they're black, and small and look like all newborns. This time tho, she pulled enough fur to cover the entire cage. I had to dig down into it to find them. Thought there would be 3, maybe 4, because 1) she was only bred 1 time; and 2)she was NOT heavy this time. Actually thought maybe she hadn't taken.
I was going to put a pic here, but some have dialup and it's basically a nestbox with hay and a LOT of black fur. there is a shot of it in the gallery under "nestbox"
There was more blood this time than last, but when she moved away after sitting on the floor for a few minutes, there was just a small splotch...so I'm hoping all is well. She's moving fine and as soon as I counted and removed the strange dead one, she hopped in the nest and recovered them all the way SHE wanted them covered.
