23/2/2016 0 Comments BABIES BABIES EVERYWHERE!Well February has had ups and downs in the Lutino hutches! The 9 babies that arrived end of Jan are doing brilliant and Mum amazingly has managed to get all 9 to 4 wks old !! We had a huge grin on our faces when we discovered 2 x Satins in the litter and are overall very very happy as these F1's will put us up and running for the next gen - surprisingly several are starting to show distinct Netherland type and ears so we will watch how they develop with interest :) We also were dancing with joy when our F2 Satin Lutino doe finally gave birth to a live litter of 5 babies after 3 x dead litters !! In desperation we used our Broken Choc buck as she was not jelling with our other bucks and it was love at first sight - she rolled after mating and I swear she smiled LOL! She kissed him and licked him so obviously she is a doe that needs to 'feel the love' to become a proper Mummy hahaha! We have 1 x Broken - 3 x Black Otters and 1 x Black Self - obviously all carrying choc - satin and lutino - they are only 2 wks old at the moment but all thriving and some showing some promising type... The other F2/F3 does sadly have also had stillborn litters .. it was their first time and we are hoping that was the cause...
So we will try again but at least we now have a very good selection of F1 and F2 to move forward with :)
