Well, Little Donna wasn't doing well with her children. She had 5 kits on the 15th and by the 17th only 3 of those kits were being fed. I took two away and gave them to Gracie in hopes that Donna would have enough milk to keep the other 3 alive and fat. Then early this morning around 1 am (3 days after giving birth) another one of her children was severly dehydrated and his skeleton was visible. He was lethargic. I flipped her over onto her back and made her nurse them but around 4:00am this morning when I checked everyone the other two were also not looking great and everyone was cold. So, I took a chance and gave Gracie the rest of the kits --she is still nursing those 9 kits. The skeletol one that I thought was going to die is no longer wrinkly and dehydrated. Looks to me like his skeleton is barely visible. Two of them dont have the fat kit belly but that may take a couple of days. I will be VERY happy with Gracie if she can pull this off. She only had 4 of her own and so far has kept 5 extra kits alive and hydrated. I'm very proud of her;) I dont care how good a doe looks or how much money someone will pay for her -- she's worth her weight in gold if she can not only raise her own children but another mothers also! I rebred Donna to Stefan tonight. Let's all cross our fingers that she gets it right next time. Hey, at least she didn't hurt them.
