More non-normal baby BRB's

rainbowsrus Nov 03, 2011 10:47 AM

Not exactly unexpected though.

Minnie x Dumbo, Het Hypo x Hypo and as one would expect, there were hypo's in the pile.

Due 10/23, this litter was at the far end of what I would consider a normal plus/minus range from the due date. I knew for several days she was getting close and even my wife was checking her yesterday.

Almost a week before her due date she was looking pudgy and uncomfortable:

Then last night I saw she had just dropped her litter in her hide box:


When I removed mom the babies started to move around but settled back in for an hour or so after the tub stopped moving:

Some of the babies in the group tub. This pic does show how the pre-shed Hypo babies are not that much visually different than the hets. Enough you can tell them apart but not night and day like the adults.

Total was 3.3 Hypos, 4.5 Hets and 1 slug, IMO a good litter
