Epitaph x AGCR Fiona 10/17/13

PAIRED: 9/22/13 Epitaph x Fiona
Keeping: 2 girls and 1 boy
Erin: 2 girls
Kat: 1 boy-Taken back due to owner abusing ..now keeping (2/21/2014)
Jason: 2 girls
Sara: 2 girls
1 girl passed due to accident
 2 boys adopted by:Mitch and Faust (Took cinnamon rex I was going to keep, and blue agouti)


10/06/13-All is going well. There is no sign of pregnancy yet. She will be due on or after the 12th of October
10/17/13- At 2:30 this afternoon, Fiona gave birth! There are 13 babies. Below is a photo of the babies' great grandmother, Beatrice.
10/20/13-So there are 2 rex boys and all of the girls seem to be rex. I'm a bit tired and looking at delicate whiskers is straining, so there may be 1 or 2 standard girls. Also keep in mind any of these curly whisker babies could be double rex too
10/23/13-Babies are doing well. All of the girls are rex, and 2 boys are. I will be keeping 1 rex boy. 
10/29/13-Babies are doing fantastically. Their fur is in and eyes should be opening soon. Sadly, there are no hairless babies, they are all rex with 2 standard fur babies.
11/01/13-Eyes are open!
11/05/13-Starting to eat solids and move around. They love chewing on my finger.
12/10/13-Babies have grown up well. I had taken a 10 day vacation however which put their socialization on hold. They were more skittish than my previous litters so I held off on adoptions for another 2 weeks to make sure they got extra handling. Everyone was so patient and understanding! I never want to send off babies if I do not feel 100% about them. They were adopted on 12/06/13 and everyone has reported they are doing quite well! Fiona was adopted with two of her daughters and she is loving her new home. I am eternally grateful for my adopters for providing amazing homes and putting my mind at ease about the sort of lives they will have. I could not do this without you!

AGCR Cobalt Cobwebs x ALP The Lady of Shalott


Genna D: 1 black dumbo, 1 siamese dumbo (female)
Keeping: 1 dumbo siamese female

Paired: 5/10/13 AGCR Cobalt Cobwebs (aka Powerblue) x ALP The Lady of Shallot



5/16/13-Shallot has been in heat *fingers crossed*
5/19/13-Still getting along.
6/01/13-Definitly showing!
6/02/13-She had 6 babies. Only two lived. If they make it, I will be keeping both and so there are no available babies in this litter. I will pair her again once she's recovered. First time litters sometimes do not go well. It looks like a baby got stuck as one was very bruised, and this may have harmed the rest. I apologize to people looking forward to getting their babies. They will be paired again when Shallot has healed from the pregnancy.
6/04/13-There are 3 baby girls feeding well. I think I will go ahead and keep just one girl, since I plan to keep a boy from her second litter. Thus, there are 2 girls available from her litter (assuming they of course make it the first week, as often times this first week can be the most fragile. But they are eating well and wiggling).
6/20/13-Little runty girl has become so big! Eyes open, eating solids, and exploring.

2/28/13-Still no change in her belly today. By now I would be expecting her to be getting much bigger. But she has a definite egg shape to her, so perhaps nothing happened the first week they were together and she is a week later than I calculated.
