They have arrived!!

For those of you who might have seen my weekly updates on Gina's pregnancy this surely will not come as a surprise since I am 2 days late with posting the next update. For those who follow my twitter account you all know the babies are born already!

Anyway, last thursday I wanted to get Gina out of the cage to make the new picture for the next update, she was in the small cottage inside the cage together with Jenna so I picked it out of the cage. The first strange thing I noticed was a piece of gold color where gray had to be on mommy Gina. Was it true, were there babies? I quickly took Jenna away from Gina and YES!! Next to Gina there were 2 healthy pretty babies! Unfortunally these two were not the only ones and 2 others had died probably while she gave birth, one of them was a extremely beautiful black and a little white baby and the other had three colors like the rest. I weighted them at 104 and 66 grams. Their picture is the last one I will post in this blog.

The two living were extreme beauties as well, all 4 of them were. They were weighed on the first day as well and ended up being 98 and 89 grams. Very nice if you ask me. Of course mom dropped alot of weight, ze went from almost 1300 to 891 grams and she still is losing a bit of weight. The babies are only gaining so they are really doing GREAT!! The two eat hay, bell pepper and chicory but they stay away from the normal food at this moment.

Now, I've been babbling about weights long enough and I guess you all are waiting for the pictures, right? Well, here they are!!

Baby number 1 (named Aiden as long as he stays here) was the baby of 98 grams, he weighs 112 today!

The second babyboy was the one who weighed 89 grams at birth and was 97 grams today! (Named Adam as long as he stays here)

Goat and Sheep lambs kicking ass!

I was thinking about making a blogpost but couldn't find a subject for it. To be honest I still do not know where I should make this about so after I am done brabbling away over how I have not yet decided what I want to make my blog about I will simpely look what I have to offer.

So, now that brabbling is over it is finally time for some pictures!!

And I found the topic I'm going to use today!
Last summer I was happily surprised when I fun sight caught my eye when I had my camera with me. There were two lambs playing together but those lambs were not of the same species. Just look at how cute and at how long they went on like this! All the pictures were taken at the same day.








I'm still not really sure who won in the end. The sheep certainly was heavier and could use more weight in the play but the goat was smaller, could easily get on her hindlegs to charge and with that give a hard blow because of the speed! All I know was that this happened in the end:
Was she running away in defeat or do you guys think she ran away knowing she won the fight and went to look for her mom to tell her the good news?
