~Zaza's First Litter~

Salam and Hi ..Another 6 kits were born on 10.2.2011 by Zaza ,a single mane lionhead and she just turned 5 months old when her kits were just 1 day old :D

Actually I didn't expect this doe to be pregnant by Kimba because the day I bred her ,she flushed out the semen which was supposed to be retained in the uterus ,so I guessed she was not successfully bred ..2 weeks later ,I brought her to a friend of mine to inject the ivermectin due to her skin diseases ..She was found out to be having 'something' inside her on the 3rd week when I tried to breed her and she rejected the male along with her grunting ,so I decided to palpate her just in case ,and I surprisingly ,I could feel babies ..From what I knew ,a pregnant doe is not supposed to get an ivermectin jab because it might be dangerous for the foetus so I'll just wait until the 32nd day when Zaza gave birth to 6 healthy and huge kits ,whis was a surprise to me as I was expecting all the babies or perhaps some of them to not survive ..Thanks God!!

Zaza also plucked her fur ..

She is still young to be a dam but she is doing great at it,well done!! :)

These are Jill's kits when they're about 6 days old ..

One of them ,the runt ,didn't survive due to its small body maybe ..I did try to hold it and helping it to suckle Jill's tits but it reacted as if its dam tits are bigger than its mouth ..Then I realised that it will not be able to survive ..So I put Yoona's kit ,far left ,together with Jill's because the latter really know how to take care of the kits ..Apparently ,I rebred Yoona a week after her birth ..

This is the runt that I just mentioned ,the only one with different colour pattern ..It died peacefully on my palm ..Picture was taken few minutes after its death ..

This is Yoona's which is now in Jill's care :)

Bought this formula milk last month I think ,never use it before :D
