Yesterday morning, I had a female who was definitely showing signs of an impending birthing. I waited as long as I could but then I had to scramble to school and just barely made the late bell. My students were ready to give me detention. When I got home, I found 11 large babies and 2 unfertilized at 110 days POS. Mom is a high color (orange) "normal". The problem is dad. Who was the father? In the two months between the beginning of the breeding trial and ovulation, a Jungle male was used for the first month and a normal male was used for the second. They both were very active breeders. The Jungle male was moved (which led to Salmon Jungles) to replace a male who passed. Jungles, normals, or split litter? I know what my initial feeling is but I'm going to wait until the first shed to make my final call. As you can see below, Sierra is a high color animal. You can see her acting on her maternal instinct to move the babies and get them out of their birth sacs.
