Big Babies

[lauralynne]

So Tabitha's new chubby Z1 baby got me curious...
What's the largest kit you've had (delivered safely)?

Largest here was 73 grams--a single ebony male. His mom got so big I would have bet $$ on twins, then she popped out ONE! I couldn't believe she only had one, but he was a robust little man. Still growing well, so I hope he keeps this up and turns out as big as Momma & Daddy (1000 g & 920 g respectively). Go, big guy, go!:thumbsup:

My medium ebony female was 76g at birth...and in a litter of two without complications as far as I am aware. I'm not sure how big her brother was but her breeder showed me her parents and they are big and beautiful! She's just shy of 4 months old right now and I just weighed her at 540g yesterday. I hope she keeps it up!

Im not a breeder, but figured I would answer anyways. My kit templeton was born at 80g. He was a monster lol

80! WOOF! I hope momma was a big girl. 80 is a Mack Truck!

My largest was 73 grams born in December. He looked like a 2 week old kit. Very healthy lil boy.

I have had 78 gram babies born...anything larger seems to get torn apart during birth (sorry, I hate to have to say that) and generally I don't know exactly how much they weigh.

I need to update this because I have about 100 babies that aren't on it yet - http://www.azchins.com/babies.htm

Those are my baby weights. I think that once I actually update it my average will go up maybe 4/10ths of a gram or so.

Chelsea (CRL Chins) had a single standard female born yesterday @ 84gr baby and momma doing fine.

Holy smokes!

 

[designer chins]

WOW!! Monster! Glad mom & kit are doing fine.

84 grs that is just huge. That is probably the biggest kit being born.
