Congratulations!!! I still remember my very first litter. Happy times for sure.
Congrats! Just got our 3rd litter this morning and I was just as excited as the first, hope that excitement never wanes.
It's soooooooo hard not to be lolBeen there, done that
That's awesome!!!! How many? And me too, I love seeing the patterns and how well they are doing. I'm currently working on momma to realize that I'm not messing with the babies everytime I open the door lol she's very snorty right off the bat, but last night just snuggled her head into my hand, so yay!!! Progress!!!
Just five with this litter but I had actually guessed it right as the doe is older (proven brood doe) and the first litter for and proving one of my young bucks. Three black and two blues! My very first litter with my original meat mutts gave me nine (all since retired to camp) and my other silver fox litter that's almost six weeks old now was also nine after one still born. I have two unproven does due next month, nervous with those as I've heard the first litters for new moms don't always go well. Hoping for the best so we shall see.
Each doe will have thier own personality and react differently when doing baby checks. The does for my first two litters showed a lot of concern when I would pull babies but weren't aggressive, the newest mom isn't bothered at all, you can tell she's accustomed to it. I find that putting a little treat bowl together of a teaspoon each of calf manna, BOSS and old fashioned oats and giving that to momma then pulling out the nest box makes them happy and distracted. The added benefits of it helping milk supply and keeping the doe's condition is an added plus.
That's awesome!! I understand being nervous for the new new mommas. I've got two coming up in the next month for their very first litters. One is my oldest daughter's show rabbit
(really nervous about that one, she didn't take for the first breeding). Thank you for the idea too!!! I didn't think about a treat bowl to help with momma. I'll def have to try that!!
