Title: Watched birth!
Post by: Sweetnessheart on July 17, 2007, 09:43:34 AM

My husband, Jim, and I watched Snowflake give birth this morning to two little ones!   :::grins::   ::clapp::    :::grins::   I don't know what they are yet because I am giving Mama time to get acquainted with her babies.
Jim seemed more excited than I was....he kept looking and saying...."I see a little tail,,,now I see a baby!"  I told him if he wasn't quiet I was going to make him go back into the house.  Snowflake needed quiet!
Hopefully these babies will turn into Champions.  I paired Snowflake (white mosaic) with Jerry (standard) again.  They are the parents of Tippy the Southeast Coastal Champion.  I will post pictures in a couple of days.    ::silly::    ::silly::

Congratulations!  That's very exciting!  I can't wait to see my first birth.  Somehow I always seem to come in just in time to see mom eating the placenta (yuck!) but never get to see the good parts!!!

I just fed for the night.  I think we have 2 girls and 1 boy.

girl 1  (totally white tail) - 60 grams
girl 2  (totally solid gray) - 58 grams
boy (sort of striped gray/white) - 41 grams

Snowflake seems to be nursing all well.  They all have round tummys and hoping all over the cage.

Let's hope and pray it continues!
