pixy the ags does not differentiate between dove and sapphire and I think in that picture the light pup is actually sapphire. Probably yours is dove if it is lighter than that one.

one of the dark grey pups is the male i think but then sometimes it looks like he is a female too so i will check again in a couple of days. Sadly im not keeping any of them but my aunt may be having two so i might still be able to see them my sister is also trying to persuade her husband so fingers crossed. I will give leave the samllest pup for a few more days and see what happens and if she is still far behing then i will get some kmr thanx for the idea Last night she was the only one drinking for a while as the other three have started crawling a little and were in an adventuring mood last night lol it was quite cute the way they crawled along their legs looked too weak to carry them! ;D They look cuter every day as they get more fur. well thanx fpr the help pixytwinkle

I'm glad she's getting more milk from mom. I forgot ags didn't list sapphire, I think they're missing some other colors to...anyways hope to see some pics of the pups sometime ;D

It is amazing how fast they grow and develop. One day they are pink and the next day, they are all fuzzy. I love watching them waddle around like little alligators pushing themselves on their bellies .

the babies are still all fine they can walk extremely well now. They are 15 days old. Does anyone know what sort of foods they can have when they start eating solids? I definatly have all females. The smallest one now looks white although im still not sure whether she is dove. The other 2 are a dark grey and the one that i thought was agouti looks rather strange. Compared to other pictures of agouti pups she looks grey are really pale. Does anyone have any pictures of agouti pups at around 2 days old? thanx Pixytwinkle

I suggest widl bird seed with a high small grain mix. easy to hold and mouth also break sunflower seeds or pumpkin sheeds in half before you know it you won't have to bother as they;'ll a quickly learn what they are

I'm glad they're all moving around now. In about a week you can give them uncooked oatmeal- they love it so it's great for training and getting them used to ppl, also it helps "fatten" them up, and grow. Have you gotten any pic's of your pups? I'd love to see them and that would help in determining the color for sure ;D
