Will keep watching this thread....

 

[mehganxo]

Oh gosh oh gosh. How exciting. Sending vibes for an easy delivery and a small litter!!!

 

[lilspaz68]

Still nothing this morning. I should come home to eeps though...but it will drive me nuts all day at work wondering. :wallbang:

 

[lilspaz68]

Bulgy bits this morning

and her beautiful face

 

[clmntine]

Baby lumps!!

 

[lilspaz68]

The babies are doing some serious dancing in there so it could be a matter of a few hours.

This was Lilith's at 7 am...she had babies at midnight. They were only moving casually in this video. With Ara they are really moving...the Baby Dance as they get ready



Unfortunately Ms. Arabelly is too shiny, the carrier too dark, and my video is not good enough. You can try to watch over her flank area (no rib cage or pelvis there so the babies will push out there and you might see it)

That is so fun to watch.
Sooooooon.....

 

[clmntine]

AH! I am excited!!! She will do great! I am sure she wants the little buggers out of her already. She has gotten huge in the last week!! <3

 

[dspch911]

Oh come on, what is she waiting for?! :doh: Come on cutie your keeping us in suspense.... Wishing for an easy and quick delivery...:heart:

 

[mehganxo]

Oh my goodness oh my goodness. How has she not had them yet?!?

 

[lilspaz68]

i HEAR a baby!! :wow3:

 

[mehganxo]

AHHH!!! Yay!!

 

[BlueSkyy]

eep eep eep! Yat for eepers, hope there's only a few and they're all healthy! You rescued not only momma but her babies, too.

 

[SterlingRats0408]

Yay eepers!! Can't wait for the final count!! And pics!!!

 

[lilspaz68]

I am pretty sure she's done as she's now nursing them. She seems to be a very good mom (sadly she's had a TON of practice :undecided

I took a peek in and found at least 1 stilborn who I managed to carefully get out from the edge of the nest. No idea why this girl didn't make it as she's the same size as the others.

Ara looks good, not worn out. And she's still being quite active as I heard her vigorously ripping up more paper towel.

My guess is somewhere between 8-12 babies and they are both dark and light-eyed.

 

[SterlingRats0408]

Sad she lost 1...but only one is not bad...maybe she just got pushed aside. They are a good size!
Nice and pink!! Hopefully she can keep up with all of them!
Good job Arabella!!

 

[clmntine]

Good job girl!

 

[dspch911]

:lotsohearts: Congrats to mommy ..... RIP little one!

 

[Joanne]

RIP little angel :angel:

I'm glad she seems to have done well and still has lots of energy. Yay momma!

 

[lilspaz68]

I waited a couple of hours for Ara to rest and get that colostrum into her babies but then I pulled her out, took out the dirty bedding, counted babies, and then did a very fast photoshoot. No sexing today though.

All 9 babies

5 light-eyed and 4 dark

The smallest baby
