2013/2014 breeding season Kimberley northerns

Postby RoryBreaker » Wed Nov 27, 2013 7:06 pm

My first litter was finally born yesterday.

There are from this pairing.

132 days since first mated.
129 days since last mated. There are ten in the litter. She had only three last season( her first breeding).
I was very surprised she gave birth first, I didn't think she was that close and was nowhere near as large as some of my other gravid girls. She sure put everything into this litter though.

Cheers

They look fantastic Rory, congratulations! I am generally surprised by who gives birth first every year. It is NEVER the one I expect.

How long have you had this female? What is her age?

Nice. A couple of the babies have very interesting patterns. They look like a zipper down the back.
