Pearl has TWINS! Tons of pics!

[proudmom25]

After a long and impatient wait (on my part), Pearl finally delivered two baby boys this morning. Baby #1 weighed in at 53g and baby #2 weighed in at 55g. I feel honoured and blessed to have witnessed the birth. Giddy here!

Here are some much awaited pics (for all of you wonderful ladies that listened to me yap during the process...lol).

Aw, dying in a puddle of cute

Congrats!!!!

What kind of cage are they in? Those bars look too far apart...

Aw how cute! It looks like a Ferret Nation cage. If they're still in there, you need to move them to a cage with smaller bar spaces or you could end up with dead babies.

It's an FN but totally babyproof. No worries ladies. There is NO way the babies are getting out.

Congrats!!!!

[proudmom25]

The dad was a light tan homo beige.

Do you mean that now that the babies are born you wrapped it in smaller wire? Because in those pictures those babies can escape..

HI Jen....the babies are adorable! send them this way...hehehe
It was so nice to be able to go through the delivery with you on the phone!!!!
Healthy and happy babies just what you had hoped for.....(yes I know you were hoping for girls, but just think you can wean them together now....)

It looks like the cage is wrapped in cardboard.

Congrats on the little ones. They're very cute.

 

[proudmom25]

For all of you concerned about the cage.

The back and sides have been covered with cardboard (from FN). It is flush against the cage and sits VERY tightly. The cardboard has been wired down in various locations to keep it tight not only around the edges but also in the middle sections. The front has been tightly secured with hardware cloth.

There have been two adult chinchillas in this "babyproof" cage for over 5 weeks. There has not been one bite or chew mark. I have full confidence in my babyproofing. I would not do anything to jeopardize these babies.

I do thank you for your concern.
