Finally! Penny's Litter Update- pitchas!

[-HRanchito]

After a zillion fails and me moaning about it to you guys, I think we've got a winner. Not only is Penny actually building a nest, but I brought her inside so we won't have to worry about exposure for the bubbas. I've got my fingers crossed for a couple of chestnuts that look just like Lindsey's.

 

[MaggieJ]

That's encouraging! Hope the popples pop soon!

 

[tm_bunnyloft]

Yay!!!! I hope you get exactly what you are hoping for.

 

[Bad Habit]

I'll cross my fingers for you, too! So exciting to be waiting for popples!

 

[MamaSheepdog]

Oooh! Early Christmas presents! Aren't bunnies great?

:congratulations:

Dare I hope you got pics of the "cardboard mustache"? I haven't seen one of those yet! :mrgreen:

Congrats! Hope you get a great litter.
Would love to see pics too!

Gah, it was early in the morning, so I didn't get a good picture, but you can see some of her cardboard craftsmanship in the nest!

The final count is 5, and i'm not sure if the dark ones are torts or chestnuts! I'm also wondering what my pinkies are !!!

 

[tm_bunnyloft]

Yay for more Jersey Woolies!!!!

 

[Miss M]

I'm also wondering what my pinkies are !!!

All of my pinkies have always been white (though at first I couldn't tell the difference between the whites and reds before they started getting fur... the reds are just a slightly muddy pink).

Nice job with the cardboard!!

YAAY for Penny. I never got into that breed but as I understand it that's a nice sized litter for one of them.

 

[-HRanchito]

They are Satin angoras, but virtually the same as JW Maybe they are fawn...there is no red or REW on half of their pedigree, so that's my best guess.

 

[Bad Habit]

I think the dark ones are torts, they don't look like the chestnuts I've had born here

Congrats though, such a lovely little bunch!

 

[-HRanchito]

I think I got too excited looking for pink agouti markings! now I'm thinking two chocolates and one agouti. :lol:

 

[3mina]

Nice! Makes me wish March would hurry up and get here

 

[MamaSheepdog]

What a difference a day makes!

They have peach fuzz already.

It's been two weeks, and the popples just figured out how to get in and out of the nest box, so we figured we would take some photos....



Penny hiding from the curious kits in the nest box...





This is James Maxwell, or Max, for short. He's got much darker ticking than my last chocolate agouti kit, but not quite dark enough to be chestnut I don't think.. :dance7: But the DH and I both agree he's a handsome fella


I'm also keeping both of the chocolate does. I think i'll name the lighter one Rain Dance Maggie and the darker one Tug Boat Shiela.


And here are the REWS

All is not quite well in fluffy satin angora land.. Penny has gone off feed in the last few days and she is in rough condition. I'm tempting her to eat with whatever I can... at least she'll eat parsley :hmm: Maybe she is stressed. I hope it's not wool block. I didn't pluck her last week b/c I put her back outside and didn't want to overly stress her. So now she's back in and getting plucked big time.

Beautiful!! I love the chocolates. They look like little truffles!!

 

[Maxine]

Those are so beautiful!

 

[lissapell]
