Newborn kit with hair

[aussiegirl]

Had 2 kindling issues.
1st was one of my does decided to have her litter on the 23rd day (nearly 1 week early) so naturally she didn't have a nest in yet, she had 11 good sized kits born on the cage floor all ice cold but some just barely moving. Took them straight to the car to warm up then the heating pad - saved 3 kits.

2nd doe kindled on the 35th day, she only had 1 kit but it was a fairly decent size covered in hair already (as seen in picture).
It was stillborn

What rotten luck, aussiegirl!

With the first doe kindling prematurely, you did well to save three of them.

I suppose the single stillborn kit was fully furred because it was born late.

Hope things go smoothly next time around. :good-luck:
