Breeding 101 / Re: Momma Chin Dead. Plz Help!

« on: September 06, 2006, 09:35:40 AM »

Gosh.

I'm so sorry for not keeping you guys updated... and thank you thank you Joann for shooting me an e-mail, I'm glad you guys actually care about how they are doing. But anyway, the kits are doing great. They're all healthy and big. I've decided to keep the 2 girls and give the boy away (If anyone wants him, just let me know).

I tried using organic rice baby cereal the first 2 days after Dolce passed, but the only one that was taking it well was the biggest baby. All in all though, they're doing great. I did consult with a vet about what to do and he said since they are eating on their own, then they should be fine. He also said Dolce most likely passed from lack of Calcium, due to nursing the kits (she started with 4). On her previous litters I was giving her Calf Manna, and didn't really think it was making that much of a difference. Well, I know better now, but I did pay a great price for that tidbit of crucial knowledge. Dolce was my baby. My first chin.

As soon as i can get my hands on another digital camera, I will take pictures of them with their dad.

Thanks for the Info.

The Kits teeth are yellow, I'm not sure about Dolce's, as she's buried now, and I didn't think to look.

I didn't use calf manna this time around, as I did with her previous litters,

Today while I was at work, my roommate called me and told me Dolce had a seizure and died suddenly. She had 4 kits at the beginning of this month, and all the kits are doing well.

I have no idea what could have caused this, and the kits have been eating solid food recently, but they were still nursing on her. I have no idea what I am supposed to do, whether it's hand feeding them, or letting them continue to eat solid food. What supplements do I buy??

New Births / Dolce had her third litter today!

« on: June 29, 2006, 01:58:00 PM »

So instead of the usual 3 she produces, she decided to have 4 this time.
a medium ebony boy, dark ebony girl and 2 hetero beige's (boy and girl of each)

Is there anything extra I should do? I hear sometimes it can be a little troubling with any more than 3 babies.
