Babies N' Cages

So Kayla had a beautiful little litter of four adorable babies yesterday :)  I think they're going to be all white!


She built a nice little nest with her fur to cover the babies up with. 


Being only a day old, Kayla's currently very protective of them, so I wasn't able to move the fur away so you could see them.  But since it's so hot out, she pushed some fur away on the top of them, which is how I was able to get this shot :)


Then here's Harley's litter of what I believe to be 7 babies :)


And in this shot, you can see they're kind of spread out.  I believe she has 2 black, 3 spotted, 1 silver, and 1 caramel colored one.  So cute!!!


Then here's Calypso, carefully guarding her litter :)  She never leaves them.  Any greens I put on the outside of her area she drags back inside so she's next to her babies. 


Her babies look like they will be neat mixtures of silver and caramel.  They're going to be really neat! I think she either has 7 or 8 babies.   She's extremely protective right now, so I haven't been able to get in there and actually count yet.  I'm only estimating by what I see when the fur's pushed away :)


She's a good mother :)


Then someone contacted me through craigslist and gave me this 3 layered cage for FREE!!!


I had to tie up the bottom ramp so that this bunny wasn't with the other two, because she was chasing them non-stop. 


So the other two have free range of the middle and top layer which is connected by a ramp...


...which they LOVE going up and down on :)


This bunny is just so pretty! When she's old enough, I'm going to breed her with Chuck.  Their babies should be really cool :)


Then this poor lion head some how managed to get his foot stuck in the wire on the side of the cage and broke his foot.  It's really bad, so we're going to have to put him down as I cannot sell him and I don't want him to be in any pain.  


The rest of the Lion Heads I stuck together in a cage so that the moms could get a break from them since they're all pregnant with their next litters.  I sold 2 of them today.  The big tan/white one with blue eyes and Piccolo's little boy.  Both of them were really cute! They're getting an awesome new home though :)


And I have someone possibly interested in checking out the lion heads tomorrow evening :)


So lots of new things going on.  All good :)  I had a friend come over and he helped me build a dividing wall to put inside my large hutch so instead of having 3 sections for mothers, there will be 4.  We built the wall, now we just need to find a way to secure it and fill up any holes to the babies cannot go from section to section :)
