Litters are Coming
Well havent posted in a while so better start. I dunno if ive said anything but I am moving at the end of the month to an actual house..lol. It has a huge shed/barn thingie and nice backyard as well as a huge inside of the house. Im excited! :P
One problem though..all the does are due the day before and day after I move LOL. So im not sure what to do with that. But they will be moved first before anything else.
So wondering who took eh? How about all! Except Jillian of course, I knew she was too young to breed at the time. I knew violet and zoey took..as well as kyoto who is at janines..but wasnt sure about maya because I had to force breed her lol. Well for past week ive been wondering because she all of a sudden calmed WAYYY down, not doing laps in cage like shes on drugs, but actually sleeping and acting normal lol. Her belly was very hard though, so hard I couldnt get my hand to palpulate her. Last nite I tried again and yep, i felt live ones! I cant believe that worked haha. Shes bred to a broken sable point holland buck from Barb Adams, owned by Lauraann and actually took one but was also tried with a REW buck from Chris..so we shall see what happens! I am also excited because I am trying an experiement ive seen before with fuzzies, breeding two does that live together and raising babies together, Violet and Maya have been together all there lives to perfect to try, they love eachother and dont fight even right now being pregnant..there very very mellow right now actually LOL. So this experiment should go well! I always have a backup mom, zoey..so incase something happens.
Cobalt update 2, she is continuing to improve and she has an actual scab on her head now, after three times trying to close it..and hair is starting to grow back. Unfortunately she will never be able to be shown again because the scab will have no hair and its a perty big chunk lol. Ive attempted to breed her 2 times to Blue with no success, but I notice she does lift when I touch her bottom so wondering if she doesnt like him. :S Will try again and see what happens. I really like to have some Cobalt babies for sale at Aug show. Only thing I hope for is not having too many babies per doe LOL. Zoey I know will have alot because her last litter was 9 babies but the two siblings I havent a clue lol.
Naomi is rebred again due a few days after the others, I was SOOO sad about her last litter, how it happened was she made a nest in the box and everything but after her due date, I never saw any babies, when I was sweeping the floor I noticed a baby on the edge of her cage, a blue! All fed and everything but must have somehow fell out and froze, it had a huge head too lol. A couple days later I was cleaning cages, and noticed something sticking out underneath zoeys cage, of course it was a baby, froze, trying to hide under the cage, it was a blue tort. This time Naomi will be in a solid bottom cage with baby wire to make sure doesnt happen again!
Other then that, all buns are doing well, quite a few events coming up next month, very very busy 3 weeks! Moving, litters, events, etc, etc.
Oh forgot to mention, ive acquired a few more pigs LOL. I have two peruvian sows coming from Janine..eventually when I drive up there lol..a R/W and a mmTSW, one is from Kim, other is from Dillon. She is only keeping Americans and since Sophia is doing so well with Simon, I would like to try more, breed also..for fun of course! They dont need cages because they live with my rabbits so its not a problem. Should be fun! I will post later before I move so cyah!
