I'm Lexy's mom and we're in Oklahoma. I've only been on for 20 minutes or so but already know I love this site. Info is easy to find and I don't hear anyone jumping down someone else's throat. That's refreshing.
Lexy is 3 years old (5#) and expecting her 2nd litter in 2 weeks. First litter she had only ONE.
I kept telling everyone it was a false pregnancy - she just didn't grow at all. But, this time she's definitely growing. This will/should be an average litter. We're excited.
Her first baby weighed 5 1/2 oz at birth - that was a biiig boy! He grew so fast I was sure he was going to be a 10 pounder. But, guess it was just the fact that he got all the nourishment from her because he stopped at about 6#.
I know what you mean about selling them. Had 2 $1000 offers on Scooter but instead we gave him to one of our sons and his family - 5 miles away.
We're having a bit of a problem with some too soft stools. I am planning to switch her to boiled chicken breast and her kibble along with the vitamins she already takes. Does this sound right. Any other suggestions?
Thanks from the Oklahoma PrairieGirl
