Well after a few tries and a few misses I'm finally happy to say with out a doubt both my holland lop girls are FINALLY pregnant and due this Thursday! I just put in the nest boxes and already they are working on them. When they lay down I can see the kits kicking.. kind of like popcorn going off now and then lol.Here is the buck (pictured when he was little): Broken Sable Point named Neville Neville This is Zoe my solid tort doe, not expecting a whole lot of color from this pairing as she doesn't have a lot of color in her background: Zoe And lastly this is Sabrina, I can only see one baby kicking so I'm hoping it's not a peanut and a good quality show kit! Sabrina is tort but has loads of color in her background! Sabrina I'll post pictures as soon as the kits come! Today is day 28 and kits are due this Thursday! |

what do you mean 'not a lot of color' versus 'loads of color' in the background. are you talking about rufus factor? or do you mean different colors? In the photo, Neville looks to me to have WAY more color (as opposed to white) than I usually see on a sable point -- he looks to me more like a broken tort... but you did say the photo is from when he was little - perhaps he's actually lighter? Sable points shouldn't have any 'orange' to them -- just the sepia/seal shading with white. Tort x sable point should give mostly torts and sable points (half broken as the father is broken) -- possibly extended himi and rew. |

I mean I'ld mostly expect torts out of Neville and Zoe since Zoe's background is mostly tort. With Sabrina she has a lots of sables in her background so I think she has a good chance of carrying either sable, himi or rew as her hidden c gene (her mom was sable along with grand parents & great grand parents etc each parent on her ped has a sable in their background). The picture of Neville isn't a good one, it was in my house with not a lot of light but he for sure is sable. I need to get a better picture of him.Update: Last night Zoe pulled fur and now is just awaiting for her kits to come! ![]() Sabrina has not done anything with her nest nor pulled any fur but I'm pretty sure (99%) she has 1 kit but it's still only day 29! ![]() Here is an updated picture of Neville! ![]() and I know this has nothing to do with the pregnant girls but here is Charlie (Zoe's half brother) being cute LOL

Zoe gave birth early this morning to six babies! One was DOA, 2 are peanuts but I have 3 healthy babies! Looks like, though it's too early, I have 3 solid torts? Here are Zoe's kits! Peanuts #1 and #2 ![]() ![]() Kit #1 ![]() Kit #2 (possibly broken or a light tort? It's visibly lighter than the other two, still early though!) ![]() Kit #3 ![]() All together! You can easily pick out kit #2 because it's lighter than the other three! ![]() here's Sabrina's one kit that was DOA... I was just wondering, I know it's a newborn if possibly it was a sable point?

Wow, 6 is a lot from two true dwarfs! 3 healthy kits is a good number. I don't really check for color much until 1-2 days after birth unless it's obvious (like blacks or if they were born with a bit more fur). After being born, the color can be altered a lot just from the blood/fluids and perhaps even from the pressure from being squeezed out? Newborn human babies look really strangely colored too. ![]() Too bad about Sabrina's. Hers has a little fur. Strange how perfectly formed it was... mine usually look funky if they are DOA. If I had to guess I would definitely say sable point. |

Yeah I had a feeling Sabrina would be hard to breed due to she's a compact holland. Going to rebreed her tomorrow. I palpated her today and for sure no more kits. Reducing her food for 3 days so her milk supply will dry up. I'm just happy to have Zoe's healthy bunch of rugrats! Can't wait for their fur to start coming in! |

Yeah I re-bred her yesterday, she willing took 3 times in the morning. I tried to breed her again that night but she planted herself and grunted so I'm pretty sure she's pregnant.

More pictures! Five days old! Here is the link.. too many to post on here: Kits! second picture from the bottom.. the solid tort kit looking at you.. it's mouth/muzzle is pink.. that should color in dark? I "think" the broken tort kit may be a blue tort! Edited by volz83, May 14 2013, 05:58 PM.

So-o-oooooo adorable! ![]() I think they are all black tort. The pink mouth/lips are normal and it's super cute! I love the pink lips on young kits, it's definitely my weakness. |

all tort. The pink is just because the fur isn't in as well there -- don't know if they rub it away nursing or if it really just takes longer to grow in there, but the pink faces on babies is typical. The broken is a LOT brighter than the solids. Could just be high rufus, but any chocolate in the background of the parents? |
