Some things just plain work! These ittie bittie pritties were hopping and popping all over the cage the night before when I tried to take pix, so I used the sure fire strategy of a dried crust of bread. Some were reluctant, but they all gave in eventually.





The big one is the mother, Shirley. the older girls have all been paired for the round of breeding; I had placed a lovely girlie from the first litter to pair with Adamant, the buck who sired these little ones...after a week and a half I took 'her' out to have a close look for signs of pregnancy...they had looked like they were conjugating, and I though maybe she was going into premature labor or something...turned out 'she' had miraculously grown a nice set of external naughty bits. Sheesh! So, looking under the tails of my young tris on a daily basis has become a priority. I'm just glad I got the young buck out of there before any real damage occurred.
