So of course I had to go home and check them out at lunch!! 


Ginger is way past her due date of 05/30, 17 days past and the furthest past her due date I've ever had by a whole week. Phew, she had me pacing and checking a lot. Last day and a half she had been moving ad=round some which I took as a good sign. This morning I found her going back into her hide just before I left for work (06:40), still no babies. Then I got the message from my wife she saw a baby in the cage around 11:30.
Turns out Ginger is not carrying the stripe gene (if it is a gene) like her sister Harriet Wacko does look like he has it and several of the babies look like they have it with full bullseyes. Still, she delivered 16 full term healthy babies and one stillborn - out of the sack and presumed drowned inside mom. Not too shabby at all for a first time mom.

No rest though, one delivered late, another one joining three others in the any day now watch. (Apricot, Dawn, Akoya and Aubergine)
