So... a lot has happened that I haven't had time to post about! I was hoping to have three Christmas litters, but it's looking like I'm just going to have one. =( Dolly kindled two babies a week or so ago, and neither survived. :'-( I tried reviving them when I got there but they were already gone. :( *sniff sniff* And then, Miss Haylie got her nest box a week ago and has been doing nothing but eating the hay out of it and using it as a litter box. Ugh! And I've palpated her and I really don't think she got bred, unless I'm in for a big surprise (which I wouldn't mind:). =( So...that left things up to Princess, a first time mom. And she has been totally crazy through her pregnancy....super protective and just about attacks anything moving in her cage. Eeeek! So I was wondering if I'd have ANY babies for Christmas! Wellllll....Miss Princess surprised me and when I went out to do chores a few days ago, there was a beautiful nest with a PILE of fur (she pulled herself bare!) and four PERFECT banded babies in it!!!! YAY! So, I'm very happy with Princess, who has been keepin' them babies fat n' happy. :) There is one runt that I thought was maybe a peanut, but that one is doing much better and really hangin' in there. They all have balloon bellies and are just the sweetest lil' thing ever. ;) Pictures....
