So, T2 our Amer Chin/NZ doe had her 4th litter yesterday. She successfully delivered 5 during a massive rain storm. She made a decent nest, pulled fur and cleaned and fed the kits---a great start for her!
She ate half her first litter, a quarter of her second and showed no desire to milk her third (7 of 8 alive and all fostered successfully to Curly!)
Curly raised her 4 plus the 7!!! To be fair to Curly, the 7 were weaned last week at 5 weeks--curly is regaining condition
Anyhow, back to our girl:
I pulled the box and have her feed 2/x a day. She is more than willing to be placed in the box, nurse and clean the kits. Because we are having mid 30's, I decided to keep the box in the garage for the first week to insure she is trained to feed.
Maybe she has avoided the crueset...
