Mrs. Mitties and her babies


Our babies are so cute. The one in front is the runt. He/she almost didn't make it. It wandered out of the cage one cold night about 10 feet. When I found him he was so cold that he couldn't move. I held it about 15 min in front of a heater and very slowly an arm then a leg would move. Once it was warmed up the kids and I held mama and he nursed like he had never eaten before. :) It is amazing that the cats didn't get to him first. The one directly in front of the runt is the mammoth baby. It is literally twice the size of the others. We call it Helda. Hopefully it is a girl so we can breed that one.
The long and short of it....... they are way too cute to eat ..... then they pee a lot, eat a lot and make a big mess...... which makes them look like they need to be in the freezer!!
