Hello all ;D ;D ;D My nutmeg Bandit had more babies last night!! We have been very busy lately . She had 5 pups of course when I was out of the house doing errands and my husband was in the shower!! He said he heard squeaking and when he checked they were out. They are all dark eyed with the same markings as last time ***EXCEPT*** one. One will be light with pink eyes I think. I can't wait to see what color it will be. OHHHH I am so excited cause Momma Bear is also going to be a Mom!!!! ;D ;D. You all were so right. It just took longer than I expected for Momma Bear and it was quicker than I thought for Bandit!!

Ha ha, and you thought Momma wasn't going to give birth . Wow, 8 pups for a first litter . Good luck with the little ones and please take pictures! So was Bandit's last litter 1/2 nutmeg, 1/2 DEH? Hmmm... I wonder what the other pup is?

Well.... I have to let you know that there are now 6 for Momma Bear and Squirt. I will keep an eye on them to see what is happening.
Bandits last litter was 4 DEH and 1 Nutmeg. I can't wait to see what the pink eye will be.
Momma Bears are different in color. I will learn as I go.
I have pictures and will post them tomorrow if I have time.
Thanks for the help, support, and encouragement.

Has Momma lost more pups? That's definately not unusual for a first litter, especially when there are so many!

Momma still has 6 pups thank goodness. SHe may have a black in the litter!! I am not sure of the coloring. Bandits pink eyed has golden fur so I think it's an Algerian fox. Pictures to come~

Algerian fox is just another name for DEH. It is probably a yellow fox (an algerian fox with red eyes). If it has a white belly, yellow fur and red eyes when it's older, then it is a yellow fox. If it's belly is the same colour as it's back, then it is a Red Fox (argente nutmeg). If it turns out to be a yellow fox, then Peter will definately want a picture from you! (He doesn't have a pic of that colour yet)

Thanks for the head's up on the picture. I have to upload them to photobucket. It takes a lot of time with dial up.
Momma still has 6 pups. I think one is a black and one has pink eyes. They do look a little skinny compared to Bandits pups.
Bandit has 4 girls and 1 boy!!!! Evan wants to keep the AF the only boy. It might work out since I have not yet located a vet in my area that neuters gerbils. I will then keep a female with bandit. Evan's Birthday is coming up so it looks good. He is so good with the gerbils.
