JM Nimue x RDPY Kerrigan

JM Nimue x RDPY Kerrigan
Black notch Capped/Patched Smoothcoat x Black Capped/Patched Smoothcoat

Expecting all smoothcoat dumbos. Purpose of the litter is to have the option of using another outcross in future breedings. We should see a lot of facial markings, headspots, and possibly even BEWs. They will likely be all black, but we may see some Russian blue.

These will be a litter entirely of RDPY lineage and could be available to select breeders, but only with permission from Kat at RDPY. Nimue is almost a year old and we are expecting a small litter. This will probably be a very friendly group of wheel enthusiasts!

**UPDATE 10/29/10** Nimue is starting to bloom. I doubt she's gorged herself that well, so she should have a baby belly. She should be due within the next week or so. She didn't show much with her first litter, so she'll likely not show much with these either. We'll be removing Kerrigan tonight.

Keep an eye out for a birth announcement!

Nimue is the proud mother of 6 little squeakers! I haven't done a sex count yet as she seems a bit nervous. Right now no one has milk bellies. She's grooming herself a lot and isnt paying them much mind.

I've moved her maternity cage to the living room, closer to the heater. I'll keep a close eye on them this morning. If no one developes a milk belly I may have to foster them on another nursing mother. Nimue had no problem with her first litter, so I'm sure she'll get into the swing of it soon :)

Our rescued girl Thumbelina gave birth yesterday, but only one of four survived. But the last remaining baby seems to be doing well. I will foster Nimue's babies with her if I must, though its not ideal.

I thought I had updated this! Nimue gave birth October 30th to 6 rittens. 5 girls and 1 boy. All are reserved.
