I am so jealous, I would love to raise at least one litter but who knows. They are just adorable, isn´t it amazing how quickly they grow and change, that´s what I find most fascinating. Keep the pics coming, I am just loving following them.
They are gorgeous, aren't they? Just like some human kids, they may have not been planned, but they're extremely loved! They certainly change significantly every day! I'm going to try to catch this up a few days now, because I'm getting behind.
And finally I'm up to date! The fatso squishies are 11 days old today! I already knew Miranda was feeding them once early morning and once in the evening, and was pretty impressed that she was feeding twice a day instead of the once I had read was common. I now know why they are so darn fat; I found her feeding them again at 2pm today! There's no worry about these little fatties being neglected, and it's no wonder Miranda is eating and drinking so much! Anyway, here are the chubby buggers, 10 minutes after a feed and a massive wee, at 11 days old:
Omsqueeeee! Adorable, that picture of the little noses...heart melting. So cute!! The one with the little freckles (pardon my lack of proper terminology, I don't really know much about coloring/patterns) tugs at the heart strings. So does the little one in the first pic. Again, thanks for sharing.
12 days old, and 4 of 5 kits have opened their eyes. Even though they're all super fat now, one of the white ones was a tiny touch smaller than the others at birth, so I guess is the closest thing I have to a runt, and is the one who's eyes are still shut.
Miranda hopped in to groom the kits a bit, and 4 happily slept through it, while cheeky little Dora (the white one closest to the front) decided to sneak around the back and wriggle under for an extra feed! Miranda realised what was happening and after a moment she moved away, leaving Dora shocked and confused on her back. She stayed there in shock for over a minute! It was super cute.
Lol yeah, it was super adorable. Sammy is even more protective of them than Miranda - probably because he can get close without them sneaking a feed - and does NOT like being kept from them. They had some beautiful family time yesterday, but my phone decided that the 1500 photos and videos I had on it were too much, and it pooped itself. I got a few little vids before it died but not photos. I'm trying to upload some vids to photobucket.
My phone died on me when trying to get pics of Day 16, so other than the little binky video I have nothing. I had it sorted for Day 17 though, so here we go!
