I have had trouble getting my purebred Satin does to continue eating through pregnancy, delivery healthy kits, let alone take care of them if they do manage to have a few.
Starlight, however, had a decent nest, with fur
a first, with 13 healthy popples last night. Two are smaller than the rest, and I normally would cull them for snake food, but I'm not doing anything to disturb her at this point.
My mind is happily blown as this was her 4th attempt. I was just hoping to salvage a few to foster to other does. I never thought Starlight would finally figure it out
Eager to breed her daughter, Muffin, in the next month and see if she has the same problems. One step closer to figuring this mystery out.
Starlight's dam, Black Betty, had a very successful 1st litter, but failed miserably after that for the next year. Just days ago she aborted her litter 8 days early and passed on the next day.
