this doe should have her litter in the next couple of days (due monday), if she's not tricking me with another false pregnancy :roll:
Expecting mostly agouti.

look at that belleh

 

[Agoutigoo]

no litter yet, but defiantly either today or tomorrow.

 

[Agoutigoo]

Her belly looks huge. Maybe she'll have 10 babies...or 12

That's my guess too. She's bigger then her daughter when she had a litter of 9. But then again this doe does tend to have large pups.

 

[Agoutigoo]

looking very uncomfortable tonight. her nest currently consists of 3 pieces of cardboard which she occasionally faceplants to have a nap :lol:

 

[Agoutigoo]

thankfully last night she decided to have her babies. good thing too, as i thought she might explode otherwise :lol:

she had 14 in total, no runts and all have full milk bellies

 

[Agoutigoo]

doe at the bottom doesn't have a massive milk belly but is a loud bugger :mrgreen:
will start sorting tomorrow who to cull, looks to be an almost even split of sexes at the moment.

 

[Agoutigoo]

day 1 lots of fat happy pups

 

[Agoutigoo]

day 2- pigment showing

 

[Agoutigoo]

are there still 14 or have you culled them down to 7?

Culled down to 7. 14 was just way too large a litter for the doe.

Culled down to 7. 14 was just way too large a litter for the doe.

Well for a lonely dow I think yes.
Did you only keep the girls or a mix?

Just the does in this litter. Well was aiming to keep at least 1 buck but seems I mistook one of the does :roll: typical

[Agoutigoo]

nearly 3 weeks old now. i am quite in love with the silver agouti :love1

 

[Agoutigoo]

How do you get such a perfect line up?! Lots of out takes? They're gorgeous!

lots and lots of outtakes. Even in this photo there's one doe who just won't cooperate at the back, and another that catapulted across the room and was wedged behind one of the cages for the duration of the shoot :lol:

 

[Agoutigoo]

all at 8 weeks now
