Had a whole thing written out, then website deleted it...ugh...So, here's the bare bones of what I had typed out.

Got lidocaine in today. Found my new tattoo pen kit. Will be tattooing everybun this weekend.

Adults have names, so that's what will go in their ear.
Rest, will get a code.

Kit #, dam initial, sire initial, dam's litter count(by letter), month born #.
(4th) kit, (T)ippy × (G)oliath, (3rd) litter, July(7).
"4TGC7"




_________

Also brought over the big grow out pen! Not finished setting up, but close. Temps should be leveling out, so I can add younger kits and a mom in here or all growouts, once tattooed.


Moved the 2×5ft cage over. Put Coral's and Sky's daughters in here.
Moved the Rec halfsisters to a bigger inside cage. Then Berry's first buck & Jet's buck moved in together to the Rexs' old cage.


Hung up my growth charts.
Also the placement of each bun.
Unfortunately, I moved buns immediately after updating these charts. Lol

And for the best news, Opal FINALLY had kits!!
Sire is Vapor.

Another nest sitter, so I gave her a pile of hay to sit on instead.
Two are booted, 2 got chewed on by mom. Don't believe I've ever had that issue before.



Now to see if Royal & Buttons will get their together or be turned into dog food...

Cruella's Rew buck is hideous, but he bred a doe yesterday. Months ahead of his dad!
Looking at Cruella's first litter's best two, that I held back, It seems her 2nd litter's broken castor buck is going to outgrow both! So, I'll keep breeding the ugly buck, but keep the new one to grow out and eventually breed and replace the ugly one!

We've had problems with one of the online pay aps when paying a larger amt - can't remember which one - but it could be a snag in the ap and not your buyer. Just sayin'

Yes, holding out hope. Mid next week I should know if it'll go through or not.

Ugh.

Been staring at Quincy buck. Even though he was largest in the litter, he's still small looking.
Checking him to the other rex, he's much slower growing and much smaller.
Ugh. 4th gen, and it looks like I have to cull the line out....
I have Lynx in Sky & Berry, and Baymax in Sky.
So...officially listing him...

Decided to do a more simple tatto code. Parents initials & kit number overall. Like scrapie tags, 0-999.

Coral, Vapor, 27th kept for brood
CV27

Then I'll keep this chart handy and the little paper cards also now have the tat code added to them.

Cold, windy, gross out. Maybe tomorrow will be nicer to tattoo them.

Today was cold and windy here, too. Mostly sun but that wind went through you.

I still love the Rex ones...

Wind would of made it torture. Lol

Did I miscount before or is one missing today??
3 were chewed on. All full of milk. Looks like blacks or steel.
