Okay one for sure looks good. Nice and pink now and moving. Another is okay, I'm on the fence. Another started to breath, but thats a lost cause i think.

Any advice anyone. Just let nature take its course? Or attempt to lay Dulce down so this one has a chance?

Most of the babies had scratches/marks on them. 5 were lined up perfect, one, the biggest healthiest one was in the middle of the cage...ugh

I'm sorry for the losses! Hope the last 2 make it okay! :hugs:fl

I would hold Dulce to feed them - usually twice a day. The little marks can be from over-grooming. A lot of does can over-do the grooming/cleaning of their kits - especially first-time moms.

If Fluffy does kindle soon - hopefully you can add them to her litter if she doesn't have too many :)

Okay, so i took a couple of photos. I brought the little Lazurus in to make sure it is nice and warm so it has a fighting chance.

Here is a photo, sorry. I need to know if these guys look fed. I personally think so. The tummies look nice and round. But then again it could be just post-mortem. Idk. Such healthy beautiful perfect little things. So sad. Little Lazurus is on the left, obviously.

Thank you for advice and hugs. Greatly appreciated. Xoxo

Ps. If anyone can give me insight as to sexing newborns, id love to hear know. Since their little lives wont be a complete waste.
