Donna Wildwood 288 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 YAY!!!! One of my does has just had her 1st litter! 10 kittens and they are huge! Me other doe is building her nest as I type so fingers crossed I shall have some more in the morning. Going to keep a doe from each litter if possible but we shall see when the time comes, Ido the boys first so don't have to pick any out straight away. I'll give her a day or 2 then get some pics up :D:D:D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Donna Wildwood 288 Posted June 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 sweet and tender mate but I never hang em, nor wildies I don't like that taste myself. But I don't have to choose, I keep the rabbits, chooks, goats and sheep to eat. Variety is the spice of life they say Also I don't know if it makes a difference, but my rabbits are kept in colonies not shut in hutches and i pick them fresh wild greens twice a day. Hay ad lib and some pellets. Though even if they didn't provide me with food, they are still worth it to convert waste veg and weeds into top notch fertiliser! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Silversnake 1,099 Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Good on you Donna, fertiliser and a feed, good luck with it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Donna Wildwood 288 Posted June 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Well she kept chucking 3 ofem out the nest. I kept putting them back but I guess nature knows best as the last time she chucked em out she nipped their necks Hey ho, though 7 healthy kits and the ferrets have had a treat already. Still waiting on me other doe, she's huuuuge! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
