EMSChins
Hendryx Chinchillas
I had two more litters today, which makes 5 litters (and 14 kits) in one week - this is a record for me as I normally don't even have that many in one month!
RYX B65 is a huge TOV Ebony female, out of Annie (TOV Eb) bred by Wendy Torgerson and Ash, my Champion Ebony male bred by Connie List. Thank goodness she was from a single litter as she weighs in at 80 gms! I went down and peeked in on all of the chins around 1:30 this afternoon. Good thing I did as the kit was stuck and Annie could not deliver it on her own. I managed to pull the kit out and while she wasn't breathing or moving at the time of delivery, after several good slings to clear mucous and rubbing briskly for 30 minutes she was taking weak breaths. After about an hour she started moving around under mom slowly and this evening she appears to be bright and perky! I should add that Annie managed to only gain 30 gms during her pregnancy and delivered an 80 gm kit! To say this was a surprise is an understatement!!!
RYX B66 is a BV female out of Sassy, a BV bred by Mish Irish and Buckeye, a Shoots Standard. She weighs in at 57 gms and her standard sister, B67, unfortuantely appears to be a preemie weighing in at 28 gms. She appears to be nursing and I am supplementing but I do not expect that she will make it.
I have submitted photos of all 3 kits and one picture shows them all so you can see a Standard, BV and TOV Ebony in one shot as well as the size difference between 28 gms, 57 gms and 80 gms!
