Not new, but returning!

[Secuono]

Was going to use the 55gal barrel, but realized that I'd have to cut off the top to secure the connector, and I dont want to "ruin" a good barrel. So, will go to the store and buy a big Brute trash can instead.

Used a bunch of stacked pallets to make the "stand". Much safer than me actually building a stand with open space under it.

 

[Secuono]

35gal can.
5 cups installed.
Will order more.

Folded new cardboard to extend hoppers.

Choco had 4 kits and was acting like a nutcase, jumping in and stomping the kits, while I was out there feeding. Put up a divider to block her out of the nest completely. Will rebuild the nest and remove divider tonight & see how she does.

3 buns in the freezer & pelts in pickle.
No more grumpy trying to rip my hand to shreds!



Comparison pic of mammary glands. Had a pic of them long ago, back when no one believed that's what it was. Lol. So, I had to get a new one when the chance arose.
And yes, milk came out, and the inner teat forms separately with the whole mammary system!

 

[Secuono]

Rebuilt nest. She's just standing on them. So will "shelf" them...

Chocolate doe update

Removed divider earlier, then put it back, still acting up.

Then again an hour ago. She was weird, then started nosing a tunnel, backwards. Back feet over kits, but I had built up the nest that they weren't stomped!
She jumped out & started to gather bits of leftover hay. I gave her more, she gathered it all, pulled more fur. So I removed the 4 kits to safety as she added to her nest.
Then I gathered the 2 smallest Blackie kits & put them in waiting with the 4 Choco kits. Once she was done redoing her nest, I moved the 6 in.
Hoping she feeds them all & no more stomping! Left the divider off.

All except three holes are on cups!
Did move Onyx & kits to Grumpy's old cage. Since it's set up with a cup & has slightly more space.



And the innards of teats!

 

[Secuono]

Forgot the pics. Grumpy kits are in here, too.
Got weights of all, but forgot to get pics of the notes to post.

$625 in the red.
Then 60 in cups.
$685 in the red.
Ugh

Lost one of the Choco kits, but both fosters are doing OK.

Lol
Some did squiggle a bunch, but was fast with the camera.

There's a SF litter that's...nutty, they definitely wouldn't stay. They'd jump n drown. Water is under the platform. They're crazy in the cage, the litter with that screamer kit...

Updating some pics.
Gotta get pics of the other doe I kept to compare. Loving her shape. Probably the best yet.


Gotta get pics of the other buck I kept to compare.


The cull doe, kept the brother, but has good shape. Need to pose the brother. Decent silvering in the pattern.


The weird shaped buck


Choc mutt.

The first doe and the chocolate mutt look great
