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 guineas give birth!! Just wish it had had a better outcome.  But little 'Freddy' as the kids have called him, is thriving.  Hes the spit of his mum!!!

Ruby and Princess are next but i dont think that that will be for a while
