I've been hoping for this litter for years. I picked up the mother back in 2000. She's teased me for years, making me think she might throw a litter. This year was her first and it looks to have been worth the wait. 20 babies, 5 slugs and no still borns. The babies are all huge and active. I had a hard time getting any good shots of them, but will make up for that in the future.
Here's the parents back in the spring. The father is from the FLRT line.
Here's the mother just a month ago.
Here's shots of some of the babies.
This one just wouldn't hold still, but check out the peaks and the little stripe on its tail.
