All the mamas & E-lop mamas

Oh it has been a full house! We have cages stacked up in the 4th bedroom & in the laundry room full of mamas! We took a few outside back to the barn last night too. Now we have 3 more expecting mamas inside! It has been exciting.

What has not been exciting is the losses with the E-lops. Neither one of the mamas took care of their kits and we have fostered the last few of them out to other mamas this morning. We just have to wait and see how the kits do. It was sad. We just aren't sure why neither mama took care of the babies. Tay (E-lop) had kits before and showed no intrest in them, but this time so did show inttrest, but many of the kits did not make it.

We have had many 1st timers that have done really well though and that is nice to see! The last of the mamas are due tonight! It will be exciting! Well, we may have 1 more here soon too, Tanner will be coming up. She is like a old pro so no worries there.

Pregnant does!

WOOHOO! The does are starting to get moody so we know they are pregnant! I am so excited. Mixy's kits are over a week old now and we have actually sold 2 of them. And I brought in my favorite rabbit Isabella yesterday. She started to pull hair and you can feel her buns moving around in her tummy. I am so excited for her! I went to check out another lionhead doe today and she bit me....sure sign she is pregnant cause she is normally so super sweet. I am really excited about the babies! Hope we end up with lots of them!  :)

Kits

Sad to report that the kits did not make it. I really tried with many feedings, but they just weren't even trying to take the milk. We even tried to give the kits to the other mama with no luck. At least I feel like we tried.
