There is one of our lilac otter kits with a broken leg. I am not sure what to do. It's body is stiff and it doesn't move. Breathing is labored and it's eyes seem rolled back in a way. I'm sure the little guy is in a lot of pain and suffering. It was out of the nest box on the wire. I have put...

All but one runt has been eating well since my post. I got it to eat from the red doe. Currently scores are: 6 (runts) with creme doe 7 with red doe (Previously benched) 5 (bullies) with lilac doe 7 on the bench. (Previously with creme) The creme d'argent seems to be the best mom, or at...

Previously 27. Two deceased runts. 5 runts standing. I am open to suggestions, but this is whats being done. Four nesting boxes, three litters. The 5 largest or best fed take a 12 hour break. The runts were being rotated around. The runts were not getting fed for 2 days before we started moving...

What do we think of these ears? They have plenty of water, I don't see any extra earwax or mite evidence. They don't always curl the tips but there are two out of five that have a really pronounced curl.

I had one doe eat some kits, but I think she was eating dead kits. There was still one dead one as well as some parts from the others. She had a number of healthy babies that made it all the way though! The mommas usually know what they are doing.

I suspected a split penis but I haven't checked. He has a litter of one under his belt now, but the mom came from a litter of 9. I did try him again to the creme d'argent doe, and she pulled fur today. (day 26) He is our only creme buck, I will have to check for both testicles. It hasn't been...

We tried a few times to breed our creme d'argent pair but nothing ever came of it. Not a haystache, not a fur pull, NOTHIN'! So I bred her to our really nice chocolate otter. I figured at the worst they could be sold or butchered. He has 3 legs from showing at ASRBA shows. I want to take him to...

One of the does that is on day 26 pulled fur already. Even though I gave her a nest box to put the fur in, its everywhere.

I've found if I do it earlier than 28 days they are likely to use it as a litter box. Though, if a doe is haystaching I will put a nest box in earlier. I had three haystaching today. Two of them are on day 26, the other is day 24. They all got nestboxes after I saw them haystaching.

Right now, we think the middle one is a doe. If she does carry a more intense silvering she could go to our creme d'argent buck in October or November. Depending on the color of the red satin x d'argent cross, we could breed it one of the chestnuts or back to one of the argents. But the one...

Hello all, I joined to post about this litter. I see some other members have some similar crosses. I think most of them are headed for freezer camp. There are five silvered chestnuts that came from a creme d'argent doe with a chocolate otter satin buck as the sire. There is also one kit that was...
