Fascinating stuff Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeh Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 (edited) My smallest jill also popped out 13 one year, with 2 dying - so a total of 11 kits from her. Anyhow, the issue I found (as she was mated with a pretty big hob) was they started sucking the life out of her, and was far to big a number for her to handle. She had some serious weight issues and I kept having to feed her fatty off-cuts to stop her from weight to dropping to fatal levels. Keep a good eye out on her weight as it won't show when she's curled up. Edited May 24, 2010 by Bleeh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
