So, today was the actual day 31 for Spooky (I had miscounted, and thought she was due last week ) I caught it on "day 32", last week, thank goodness. So I have been telling hubby, "she's gonna have at least seven, maybe eight, I want eight". So the pooper had eight babies! No torts at all, which was a little diappointing, and no Siamese Sables, but maybe some of the dark ones are veinna marked, they look like they may have white toes...AND....I got a broken blue! (I think). Its super light, and pretty. The only one that color. Here hoping its a doe!
Some have chomp marks on them, two on their backsides, one on a front leg. a couple seem to have bloody residue on their heads. That all bothers me. But they all seem fed to me, and reasonably healthy.
I gave momma an oatmeal mash and some extra greens, because she has a big litter to feed, and I am proud of this litter. She has had a litter of 5, and 6, before that I know of...
So, I am curious. Can a doe that has a large litter have a hard time birthing the babies?
Oh, and I had a question about brokens, Vienna genes, and nose markings. All of the broken babies are missing their nose color, they all have white on their ears (ok, one has half a butterfly) Does the vienna gene have any bearing on facial markings of a broken?
