My CBB female Merauke, Rosy.
Posted: Fri May 15, 2015 5:14 pm
Two weeks ago one of my female Meraukes, Rosy, gave birth to a whopping litter of 13. 
!!!
One baby was stillborn and I was unsuccessful in reviving it. Unfortunately four others passed away in the first week; this is the first time out of four years of breeding that I've had perfectly healthy looking babies pass away without a clear reason. The stillborn was perfect and big, and so were three of the others, the fourth was a tiny reduced pattern runt that was very lethargic from birth.
Because of the high number of losses, and also having people on a waiting list from last year waiting to claim babies, I wasn't ready to announce the birth of this litter before. Even though several are still very slow eaters I'm hoping we're out of the woods for having more pass away
, but unfortunately all eight survivors are spoken for at this time, so I do not have any available for sale. Should that change I will of course start by offering available ones up for sale here in the classifieds, so if you'd like to be made aware if/when that happens, comment on this thread and have your settings set to notify you when new posts are made, as I will first make a post right here announcing impending post to Classifieds. At this time I'm very busy with various other undertakings, and can not guarantee that I will keep track of PM's nor have time to answer all. 
I apologize.
