It's been a little over a month since my last post. a lot has happened since then. I got moved from Colorado to North Dakota. My parents were supposed to bring me a breeding age buck and a buck and a doe kit. Well the breeder for the kits sold me a third kit for a great deal. But they weren't sexed because the breeder had just had a baby herself. Turned out all three kits ended up being bucks. so I have 4 pedigreed bucks and 2 pedigreed does. and a half chinchilla/half harlequin doe. I know I was supposed to keep them all separated. but I 100% trust the breeder I got the breeding age buck from. so the third day here I let the doe's and the buck run around the house together. first try the buck got Mollie pregnant and they weren't even caged together. I had to cage my doe Maggie with him for over a week before he finally was able to mate with her. Any way, My Harlequin Mollie gave birth to 8 kits either late last night or early this morning. I spent most the day over at my sisters house but had to go home to get migraine meds since I was no longer talking right and half my head and face were going numb. Decided to look in the nest box since she finally pulled fur for a nest yesterday afternoon. well the fur started moving. I washed my hands and then moved the fur. she had 8 babies!!! I didn't think to grab my camera before checking to see how many there are. So no pictures yet. I am thinking I might wait a week before taking pictures.
