They will either be white or husky, Lulah retained a lot of the grey in her undercoat as a little one, but has got whiter and whiter as she's been here.

This is the first time I've ever done any breeding not in one of my clear bottomed tubs. by the time I was sure Lulah was expecting she had her huge nest up, and I didn't want to disturb her by moving her. This means I can't peep in on what's going on, how many are surviving, whether I need to fish any out, and I can't bear it!!!! Lulah has them well tucked up, and is spending most of her time in the nest only popping out to feed, wee in the sand, have a drink and a quick groom. Baby food, egg and meal worms in suet are ensuring she's looking very good healthy. I saw a peep of babies once, counted four and thought there were more there, but it's impossible to tell really for the moment.

Daddy Billy would like it to be known that although Lulah might be raising the babies, he did help make them, and look at his massive foot Lulah gave him to make him leave her to it!!!!!!

Awww poor Billy... How is he coping with the giant foot?

I'm glad all appears well for Lulah and the pups so far

He's fine, and between you and me he's making the most of it as bring injured he gets all the extra food that Lulah gets for her nursing, and Dasher gets for being so elderly. Note how he sits slightly tipped forward with his foot on full show to let me know he still needs treats

lol I did wonder if he was making the most of it... Just don't let Billy give Ghost any ideas, with Fwirl all better he needs to make us get extra treats in somehow... (That said - him not being 100% is part of why I got eggs earlier so the hams are getting a special treat soon enough)

I am glad he's doing fine though

Oh poor Billy - he must have really annoyed her! I'm sure it will be better soon

How frustrating for you Pompompoms that you can't see in this time, I bet you're counting the days until they will be starting to peek outside the nest...
