I know it seems only yesterday she was beginning to show. Now shes swallowed a couple of small oranges bless her. All i can do is keep my fingers crossed that all goes well. Shes been given the best care, food, exercise and has he best pal with her to help when she gives birth. Im hoping its soon. I cant wait to have more babies around. Kayleigh |

Hi Jade
Apatche is doing fine this morning (no babies yet) but she ate her breakfast and had a little waddle about. The pups are wriggling like crazy inside her stomach. It cant be too much longer now.

Morning all Im delighted to announce Apatche delivered her pups around 7am this morning. I went to check on her as usual and to give the bed area a quick clean (i like to keep it clean when i know they are due) and to my surprise she was just delivering her final pup. She looks shattered and enjoyed a good munch on some spring greens before getting back to her babies. I managed to give the bed a quick clean when she moved the pups to the other side of the hutch bed area. I managed to get a few snaps on my not so good phone camera. Shes got 5 nice looking pups (another large litter) Im hoping she will cope. I will be keeping a close eye on mum and pups incase i need to help out. Hehe Enough ramblings I know you all want pigtures. Excuse this pic its a tad graphic  Mum and pups  Mum and pups in clean area of hutch  Pups in a bundle  Im so excited and relieved she delivered all on her own with no troubles. I have to leave for work soon and I dont want to!! haha. Im hoping she does ok and gets all 5 fed and warm. The first 48 odd hours are the worrying ones as she may reject them (hopefully not) or refuse to feed a couple. Fingers crossed all goes well and shes a great mum. Ill keep you all up to date with the pups and Apatche. Kayleigh |

Thank you very much. Just checked on Apatche and shes snuggled up with the pups. Thankfully.
Sugar is being great, kept her distance but poked her head around the corner to have a check. Shes so far stayed away from the pups when iv been around.

Congrats Kayleigh! And well done Apatche! They look lovely, I hope they do well. I'd say Apatche is knackered after five babies! I hope Sugar takes to them as well, that would be lovely  |

Thank you everyone. Im pleased to say all the pups are still alive and doing great. Apatches doing a great job with them all. Sugar is also helping out with the grooming. I took a couple of short videos of Apatche and her pups for you all to see ; First video is her about 5 minutes after delivering her final pup youtu.be/1xx_5OMRnKESecond video was taken when the pups were an hour old. youtu.be/gUGI2142z8AExcuse the sound in the background I took a quick snap of them all when I weighed them. They havent been sexed yet as i like to wait until they are at least 72hours old and nice and strong. Pigtures of the pups and their weights ; Pup no 1 - 100grams  Pup no 2 - 95grams  Pup no 3 - 100grams  Pup no 4 - 104grams  Pup no 5 - 99grams  Lastly a couple of group pigtures   Excuse the quality of the pigtures - Taken quickly with no real effort. But gives you a little look at the pups and their coat colouration and coat types. Kayleigh |

Kayleigh, they are just stunning. I thought that pups 2 and 3 were my favourite, but then when I looked again at the others, I just can't decide! They all have lovely colouring |

The pup in pigture 3 is my (little favourite) i love her pink ears and coat. Im not certain shes a she yet but im going to give it a few days.
They are all still doing great, munching on readi grass and running about. Oh how i love pups!!!
Caught them trying to eat spring greens. So very cute!
They now do a train movement, Apatche then the pups then Sugar. Its adorable!!

Hi everyone
All the pups are doing great and Apatche is doing a fabulous job with them all. Im keeping a close eye on the pup with two pink ears as he/she likes to sit alone and its not good at such a young age. They are all getting tucked into their pellets and love the readi grass.
Im adding finely chopped veggies and bigger chunks for the adults and they are all enjoying nibbling on these. Yay.
Jade - I think Sugar has a little longer to go than i had thought. I had came to the concluison she hadnt taken after all but she is now getting a nice little pair of bumps on her sides so "fingers crossed" i should have himi pups in a month or less. Just keeping an eye on her.
Ill try and get some pup pics soon and post them up.
Kayleigh
