June has so far been a bit of an upsetting month. Though also one for lots of new life.
June the 5th we had jubilee babies, Ecru having a litter of 5 from Copper, 4 self beige (2 of each) and a beige dalmation (boar). They are still all doing okay. 3 of the self beige I am having to help feed, 2 of which have responded very very well, and I have seen them have the occasional feed from their mum. The third isn't declining or imporiving, so it's anyone's guess how he'll do. Will keep you updated.
The 7th June we had another baby born, a big singleton sself ho sow from Dusty, father being Logan. Only having one baby meant I could then foster over one of Ecru's babies, the baby is doing well.
June 11th we lost Billie. My fave himi boar who was in with Penny. Whih was his 4th try at breeding. the other 3 attempts had yeilded no babies. Very early feelings are that he may have caught penny, but i'm not certain.
Not long ago, at the end of May I also lost Scrummy, a pet aby X who i held close to my heart. there didnt seem to be any reason for her going, making it more hard to deal with.
I leave you with photos of the babies and one of Billie.
