HOT WEEKEND! π₯ π₯΅
Temp wise anyway. 100 Friday, 95 Saturday, 93 yesterday. Back into the 80s/low 90s for the week thankfully!
Sakora had 13 in her first time litter! 1 DOA but all others alive and well π looks to be a couple solid lilacs in there! π€
Nylah had her smallest litter to date of 6, 4 live and 2 DOA. Typically she does 9-11 per litter, and with this wide swinging temps, Ill give her some credit. She's not too old or overbred for her numbers to start declining so soon, so she'll get another shot after this litter.
Kiva had 8, some on the wire, none cleaned. Some have passed already due to her not caring for them, so I think we are down to 4. This is the 2nd or 3rd time with this, so she will be a cull.
Bee had 6, all DOA on the wire with her chilling in the empty nest box of hay like theres nothing wrong. Im not sure what happened here, as all were squishy and gross like they died in utero a couple days ago. She wasn't even acting pregnant, but this is her 3rd or 4th shot, so she will be a cull.
Dora with Rawhide Ranch & Rabbitry bred to Phirre, our main Silver Fox herd buck had a litter this weekend too! Go checkout Rawhide's page to see how that litter does!
So far, NOT good with Champagne D'argents and not worth the hassle of poor temperaments and poor mothering, poor size/growth. 4/10, so far do not recommend. Maybe its genetics, maybe why the breed is still fairly hard to come by.
