For the week of February 3rd -

It’s been a week full of both blessings and heartbreak.  A litter of triplets was born to our Ebony female and a fourth was caught in the birth canal.  She was able to pass the 4th baby with a little help but the baby was not fully gestated.  The other three did well for the first day despite being the tiniest babies we’ve ever had here but all three died by the 3rd day.  :(  

Our violet carrier female (Elsie) also gave birth to twin girls (our 3rd and 4th girls of the year) the violet girl continues to do well and was a HUGE baby at 64 grams, her sister was half her size and didn’t make it through the first night. 

Times like these are very difficult and unfortunately are much too common in the life of a breeder.
