So I have this extra-ordinarily good Californian momma doe who loves being pregnant just like all women. Shes going on 5 pregnancies in 5 months or so and each pregnancy has held around 10-12 healthy kits! Love her. She's great. This go around I bred her with my ever so zealous Californian buck and the kits came out 30 days later all white...except for 8 of them....they were black..all black. So she had 8 black kits and 2 white kits from a Californian.
Now, what MAY have happened, and I don't THINK I did this, but what MAY have happened was that I put her in with my ever so zealous Californian who did his manly duty and I wrote it down, THEN decided to give my fledgling Silver Fox buck (who had never had a chance to mate) a chance with a doe who was ever so willing to be bred. MIGHT have done something like that. So question....can two sets of sperm exist in the uterus at the same time giving two different kits? I know that my Californians are purebred as I bred them myself and I know my SF is purebred as I purebred him myself as well. I did not think it likely that the Californians sperm missed the proverbial mark and the SF did all that job but would that be more likely that the kits are all his, even the white ones with absolutely NO markings other than the white ear tips, nose and paws?
My mad house experiments continue... muahahahahaha.
