Our orange doe Jinger kindled 4 DOA babies on day 28. I was disappointed. It took a little work to get Jinger going and at just over a year old this was only her 2nd litter. The 4 looked a little premature. I removed the nest box and went on. 3 days later Jinger kindled 8 more babies. Yes, 8 more for a total of 12 babies! No way. For those of you wondering Jinger is barely a 3 1/2 pound holland. Mom found them alive and healthy. There was only 1 peanut in the whole litter. Seriously, no way.

I have 4 sable/sable martens in the box by Slick. Do I even need to mention that I'm excited?!

I sexed my two wooly litters. A lot of bucks. I am excited that I finally have otters though, both blue and black. I've fallen in love with a blue otter doe and have high hopes for her even though she's too young to even know what her type will be.

Wow, 12 babies is absolutely unheard of! That should probably go into the Guinness World Records Book as the largest litter for a dwarf rabbit breed.
ReplyDeleteAnd congrats on the marten babies! I have one sable marten in the nest box right now. Martin's first litter for me will be due on July 22 with a chocolate otter.
Happy 4th of July!
