Waiting for pictures

I just took pictures of the latest babies, but on the last shot, the camera announced that the battery was exhausted. So while it's recharging I thought I'd take a minute to catch up here.

I have completely rearranged the caviary. We have one super long pen for pregnant sows and junior sows and sows taking a break from breeding. Then there are five mid-size pens which each have a boar and three sows: Broken teddies; cream teddies; satin teddies; cream abbies; and other abbies. When a sow is clearly pregnant, I pull her from the pen, moving her to the big girl pen so she can move around and get more exercise. After she gives birth, I typically put her and the babies in a small cage while she's nursing. And finally are my stacks with a breeding pair in each.

The pictures I'm waiting to post are all baby sows, mostly agouti teddies.

Litters due in the next week or so: a cream teddy sow by a cream teddy boar, a solid sliver teddy sow by a platinum agouti roan boar (MT's Frosty) and a red teddy sow by a boar that I can't think of right now, but will look up. I'd better go do that now while I'm thinking of it.

Finally, I was sad to learn that my friend Carrie of Mon-Trav Cavies is not going to be breeding any longer. Sigh. She had the best eye for type. My best babies these days come from her lines.

Hello Michele,
I can't wait to see pictures of your new babies. I've been checking in every other day to see them. Salsa and Tink are doing very well. I hope to talk to you very soon.

Hello. My names Stormy I do actually believe I got a cavy from you in the spring and she is doing great. I am looking for a few more because I have decided to start breeding. I cant seem to find your email address. I am attending the Lebanon Show this weekend. Thanks for your time.

Hello - I am on your "waiting list" - and I am interested in a cream or red teddy boar, and if available, with red eyes. Can't wait to see your baby pics. Thanks.
