Glitter & Hercules's Babies - hungrypigs - 12-16-2013 Glitter had her babies this morning. She gave birth to 5 but sadly one was DOA (a crested tricolour boar). The surviving babies are small weighing from 56g to 74g. There are 3 boars and 1 sow. Finally, Glitter is a mother! Anyway, two of the babies are crested and all will be carrying the teddy gene. RE: Glitter & Hercules's Babies - Catherine - 12-16-2013 Congratulations Glitter and Hercules. They are lovely and I can see the crests. You have a nice mix of colours. They have two different patterns though. Interesting how that works out. It is like they are from two different litters. Will there be a difference in the coats because they carry the Teddy gene? You must have a shed full of babies now. How many litters do you have. It must be quite a chorus of wheeks and squeaks at feeding time. I miss having babies. I know they are small, I hope they will be okay. RE: Glitter & Hercules's Babies - hungrypigs - 12-27-2013 (12-16-2013, 03:18 AM)Catherine Wrote: Congratulations Glitter and Hercules. Two of them have crests so it means that Hercules carries the crest gene. Funny really because his daughter, Cupcake (a teddy) has a crest as well. So, I have a Crested Teddy. I just didn't really think of it as a crest. Their coats are just normal short haired coats, there doesn't appear to be much difference in them. They are doing really well and Glitter is turning out to be a great mom. I am just glad I gave her the chance to be. I was a bit worried about her at first because she didn't seem too bothered about the babies and I wondered if I would have to hand feed them but she has looked after all four of them really well. They are still small but they are getting a lot stronger and livelier. They have been named Manny, Diego, Sid and Ellie. (can you guess the theme?) RE: Glitter & Hercules's Babies - Catherine - 12-28-2013 It took a second for me to connect the names. Ice Age? I love that movie! I am glad Glitter is doing okay. She will do even better next time when she knows what she is doing. Are they smooth coated with crests. Tow of them look a bit different. |
