Yup! I feel so bad that her only doe is the runt, but it might go completely the other way next time around. The bigger litter above is 1 buck and 4 does and the smaller litter is 1 buck and 1 doe. I'm hoping to grow several out as possible future breeders since most of my adults are 3-6 years old.
That's wonderful you got so many does to choose from! With just breeding for meat and having limited cage space it's terrible to have to fight the urge to breed up. We just don't have the space for it and of course it (at this time) isn't necessary or feasible. It's so hard though! :)
SOOO CUTE!! :) I think 4 weeks is as cute as they get.
Actually, I was looking back at my weights and realized I had forgotten basic math, regarding decimal numbers. The one doe was actually in the mid-range, not the runt. I'm embarrassed, but glad she's not the runt. :)
Awww! Too cute! That witty bitty one is the only doe huh? Or am I wrong?
ReplyDeleteNope, I was wrong! I think it must have been Phacelia that only had one girl...
