brought the ladies in, because its getting cold and mom was worried about the babies freezing. if nothing else, having them in the room i spend most my time in will help socialize and bombproof the babies, haha

tough days at the midwest division of future farm.

today started with the discovery that blackpaw had 8 live, healthy babies! one wandered out of the huddle and froze, proving the first dead kit in the future farm. but eight feisty future politicians! they squeaked up a storm when i checked em out haha

bee’s litter went much worse.

first sign something was wrong was blood streaked through the cage, with a placenta or two outside. in the carrier she chose to give birth in, i found seven kits- one underdeveloped, three who had froze, and three who were cold. i rushed to warm them up, wiped off dried blood with a warm damp towel, and put them in the nest with rosemary’s litter.

after a couple hours, my mom came home and wanted to see what had happened. she complained the carrier was attracting flies, and began removing straw when i heard a kit squealing. lo and behold, there was one more of bee’s kits, buried under the nesting material. it had been alone for several hours in the nest, and survived. its a fighter.

send words to ur preferred deity that bee and her litter will be okay, pls?
