Bongo Fury Indian Dream x Bongo Fury Don Van Vliet *with pics*

Yay - got home from the shop today to the eeping of 17 little snossages! They are doing well, mum is feeding them well too, and has recovered very quickly from what must have been a tiring birth Will post pictures in a day or so - so as not to stress them out. Dreamer decided to birth outside her igloo - in these temperatures so I'm a little worried about them (though I'm sure they'll be fine).

Yummy! Congrats!!!

YAY BABIES I didnt know there was a litter on the way.. Congrats to you and mum. What colours are you expecting from this mating?

Just looked on your site.. mum and dad are stunning! Cant wait to see the eepers grow

My site is rather out of date at the moment but am expecting Russian Silver, Russian Blue and possibly Russian Dove and Ruby Eye varieties. Hopefully not the ruby eyed ones though!

xx

Why not ruby eyes if you dont mind me asking? Is it not part of your breeding plan?

Oooh! I'm so excited for you Will she be able to cope with so many easily? No wonder she looked round I can't wait for pictures

I should imagine she'll cope well, the babies just won't be quite as big as I'd like!

We are trying to keep any extra recessives out of the line, as it improves on health the less there is floating around. That's why nothing more really - they are very pretty, and often perfectly healthy, but they're not what we breed for either and it gives us less of what we want to choose from to keep

Ah I get you now I cant wait to see them!

So exciting Congratulations to you and the proud parents Well done Dreamer,thats a Lot of little ones Is Mom Willows sister?

Yep!

Congrats Laura on your new babies, also congrats to mum and dad, hope the little ones are doing fine. Lovely photos of mum and dad. At least to my untrained eye, if their little ones turn out to be like mum and dad you should be very pleased, early days yet, i'd imagine. I'm sure they change from day to day. A nice surprise, Steve

By my calculations they wouldn't be ready to leave mum until late January.
Just in time for new year GMR.

Haha oh redrach you're a bad woman! I'm sure these lovely bubs are all spoken for but even if I could my OH wouldnt go for it. No more rats for us until our current gang passes sadly *sulks*

): there's always future sausages!

Yep thats what I'm telling myself. I'll just have swoon over the pictures of these babies growing up. Our current gang are quite old and we have a lot of vet bills with them so no babies for now..

Awww, the babies are just gorgeous! I hope they keep thriving and doing well.

aww the babies are so cute and the mum is too

New pics from yesterday! The 16 left are doing well

Aah they are little stunners they change and grow so fast!do you think you got the varieties you were aiming for or is it too early to tell for some of them?How is mom coping with her many little meepers?

Awwww look at the shiney rattie goodness! They are so cute
