Cavy news.

I have to share some very exciting news, will exciting for me anyway. Feather is up to 890g! He seems to have finally started gaining fairly rapidly and I hope one day soon he'll get back over 1kg!

In other news I believe Ayanna might pop in the next 24-48 hours. Baby has moved to sit directly under her now and her pelvic bones which have been sitting at a few mm for nearly ten days have slid out to 1cm apart. Fingers crossed anyway! I'm very excited and I'm just praying that the bubba will be small enough to have a smooth birth and won't hurt Ayanna. The second Glimmer litter I ever bred involved one 155g baby which killed her mother because she was too big. So I'm praying Ayanna will be okay. She's the perfect age and she's had everything she could need or want so now it's just fingers crossed.

In other news I had another look at Rosie the other day and decided it did look unlikely that she was pregnant so I groomed her up and washed her so I could take her to the ACA show and what do ya know? she starts gaining weight like billyo and her stomach pudges out...She's put on 100g in the 18 days since I brought her home. Most of that in the past week. At a guess I'd say she'd be five weeks gone. If I'm right I should start feeling little golfballs before the ACA show Sunday week. Needless to say if her weight gain continues she will not be attending the show.

Preparation for the ACA show continues. I've made 28 large Pop Up Piggy Pouches, perfected my Cavy Cookie recipe, revamped my carry cages, loaded a tonne more Compedniums onto CD's, packaged feed and prepared guinealogues. I've also taken flyers all over town.
