Spirit's Scarlet's litter - Photos at 3 days

These pictures were taken yesterday when Spirit's Scarlet's litter was 3 days old.  They are doing great. 

It's fun to have one that looks different than all the rest!

Last night when we checked on them we did find that one of them had died.  With a larger litter this is more likely.  With a litter of 9 one of them will likely miss out on a feeding each time, as there is only enough to go around for 8 at a time.   Going forward we will always breed another doe at the same time as Spirit's Scarlet so that we can foster some from her litters to another Mom.  The 8 remaining had very fat bellies!
