Fosters-Cavies

FINALLY Snowy gave birth today, just when we were least expecting it!  I was literally going out of the door! She had 3 boys.  Unfortunately the first was stillborn.  I tried to stimulate it to breathe but it was apparent that it was too late.  The second was fine, started sqeeking almost straight away but then the 3rd was again stillborn.

So its a sad but happy day.

I was privalleged to be there for this birth, i was very surprised by how quickly guin...

FINALLY shes definately pregnant!  Which is typical as i didnt want her to be now!  She took so long to get preganat that shes now over the advisable age to breed from for the first time.  I removed her from Patch over 2 weeks ago!

So whilst im very excited cos i love this part, the watching their bellys grow and watching their tummies move and of course feeling the babies kick, the waiting with excitement for the arrival, the wondering how many, what sex, what colour ...

Well we FINALLY moved house after yet another delay.  Life is now rather chaos. Theres loads to do on the new house and unfortunately theres not as much space in the new house.

Snowy still isnt showing any signs of being pregnant!!  Despite having been with Patch for a while now.

Ive now put Sally & Snowy in with Patch and ive put Ruby & Princess in with stripes.  So hopefully (fingers crossed) there will be the patter of tiny feet soon ????

Its ...

Thought it was high time that i updated this!

Ruby gave birth to 2 babies on 15th February 2008.  Just when we were least expecting it!

One little boy and one little girl who we named Pinky and Perky.

Sally Gave birth on 14th March 2008 again to 2 babies

And ye...

Well we are still waiting for our first babies to be born!  Ruby and Princess were due to give birth anytime from a week and a half ago!  Ruby is massive and looks like she is going to pop so it cant be long for her.  Also you can feel the babies moving in her tummy Princess however barely looks pregnant atall so either she is gonna have just one or 2 or she didnt conceive for quite a while after Patch was put in ???

Sally isnt due till at least another 2 weeks, agai...

Well we put Patch in with the girls (Ruby and Princess) and they should be due to give birth between 27th Jan and 1st Feb!

Im getting soooo excited as are the kids!

I need to buy another hutch so that i can separate the babies into boy/girl .. dont want any accidents

As soon as they are born i am going to start spreading the word that i have guineas for sale.  Hopefully i will be able to find lots of good homes

So 2 weeks tomorrow and we go onto baby...
