They are Growing and Growing

They are 6 weeks old now and 6 have survived. They are gregarious and have a lot of fun. I have placed an edible log in the tub with them and it is amusing to see them all crowd in there. I am sure they do not realize that they are not all hidden. They are also jumping up on the edge of the tub. The time I like the best is when they are all on the bed hopping over and around me.

They are eating hay and pellets and their mom still nurses them once a day. I am planning on keeping the two red eyed whites unless they are both bucks and then will only keep one. I want to keep the best black doe also. I do not need bucks at the moment. Of course, I would love to just keep them all but that is not really wise. Plan on breeding Jett to my other buck, an erimine. Will do that in a month or two. Will post some pics as soon as I can figure out where I put them on the computer.
