What a week!
I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who sent along their well wishes. I just barely am catching up on reading my own post :duh:, between work, school, and babies it's been quite the week. Mom and babies are doing great. Arwen seems to be a natural mom, milk is in, and babies are gaining weight. The ebony girl started life at 42g and as of last night was up to 48g. Baby boy was 41g at birth and last night was at 46g. I know I heard about how active they are right after birth but still it amazes me to see them running around. The ebony girl is definitely going to be the little speed monster I think very soon, while as the boy will be the jumper/climber. I haven't named them yet but I will soon. (They might actually get Lord of the Ring Type names but I admit I have only seen the movies. I've got some reading to do).
Addicted to Chins - I actually did get Arwen from Craigslist. They said she needed a home. Turn out she needed a midwife! Lol.
Linda - I was going to say you'll never find me for your chin raid but I gave you my address last night. Dang! Well, no matter. I'll be keeping a weather eye open. :waiting:
My family and friends have been wanting to know what I will do with the babies. I wasn't sure but now that they are here I can't imagine not keeping them. What if the person I gave them to didn't take good care of them or tried to breed them like mom had done to her, etc? In keeping them I am probably going to have to convert a cage I was going to sell. It's funny cause I don't even live with my family but I can just imagine the look of " your crazy " I am going to get when I tell them my chin number is going from 4 to 6 with keeping these two.
