Holy cow - can't believe it

[Mt. Zion Chins]

I believe this post goes here - Had to share this - In Aug. of 2008 I had a litter of 2 (1 male/1 female). Because of a bunch of stuff that was going on in the family, I didn't wean them completely until they were 12 weeks old - Their father was NOT in the cage. I sold the male kit soon after and the female kit was suppose to be sold but 2 months later that did not work out. So I sold the female kit to someone else who is local to me. - She was 6 1/2 months old.
You will never believe this - I have a hard time believing it myself . However her new people just called me yesterday and told me she had just delivered 2 babies - The female is ONLY 7 months old - The only male she was ever with was her brother until she was just shy of her 12 week birthday. I had her caged with only females and yes, they are females I have NEVER had any like this happen before and never heard of this happening She is fine and so are the babies - I will go over the house and sex them and make sure any male kit are out of the cage at 8 weeks I will also be in constant contact with them to make sure the babies are fine and gaining weight

Yaaaa, it happens. I've heard of it happening several times when they kit is left in too long with parents/siblings.

Good lesson to take note of - this is why it is important to keep track of dates! Hope everything works out with the kits
