Hermione's babies born 22nd March 2010

Awww there all so gorgeous!! How many do you have altogether now? Their all little stunners 

[jennyb]

Thanks Sam_Spice, i have 11 altogether.

The Dilutes have all been getting on very well but today there was some trouble, alot of chasing. It seems Pearl was in season she was chirping loud. I thought it was Hermione at first as Pearl is the quiet one but it was Pearl.

I tried the outside chippies with some nut and fruit ice lollies. Bailey was eating alot, i didn't see Abigail try any. The babies waited for the adult Dilutes to break into it first before eating. It looks like they went down quite well, they all tried it apart from Abigail.

They look great Jenny.
Can't believe how much they have grown.

The babies are 10 weeks old. The weather was awful today so they wern't out as much. It is raining and is cold, in june 

All seem fine and still getting on well. Although i've got to remove Asriel tomorrow so Hermione doesn't get pregnant again, i'm hoping this won't affect the group too much.

It went quite well removing Asriel, i opened the door of the cage and he jumped straight in. The babies don't really understand and are climbing on the cage, Hermione too. Nutkin and Willow went outside today in their cage so got a few pics of that aswell.

Some pics from today. Ronald-Harry is getting better - today he actually came right close to me and stayed awhile, he didn't climb on me but its the closest he's got so far. Ronald-Harry often has his cheeks full of food.

Ok it was more than a few pictures! I would of had more but some seem to be lost, i guess i didn't press the shutter properly. I know i took more pictures of Abigail and Bailey.

The babies love the blanket on Asriel's cage, they were loving climbing up it, sunbatheing on it. It was an old one which we cut in half, the other half is on Willow and Nutkin's cage.

The babies are 11 weeks old today. Today Ronald-Harry briefly and it was very quick climbed on my leg, its the first time he has climbed on me.

I had four climbing on me, Isabella, Lottie and Blossom and also Hermione, she hasn't climbed on me for ages but i guess she is learning from her daughters.

If you remember what the blanket looked like last time, i have pics of what it looks like now  seems the babies decided they prefered it with holes chewed in it.

more pics

[jennyb]

some more. The only one i didn't get a pic of was Pearl she stayed out of the way today.

One time i will see if i can get a video, they have so much energy, it is alot of fun but they don't leave me alone and like to nip the back of my neck, ouch. also they jump on the camera

I took a few videos, sorry about my ugly mug on the second video it is difficult to get a video of them when its just me in the aviary on my own and most of the babies were on my lap at the time, they had pulled a tissue out of my pocket, i hate being filmed

A few pics from today, i tried strawberries today. The babies haven't had them before, but they def tried them. Not sure if Nutkin and Willow had strawberries before i had them but they did eat some. Peanut butter on wednesday went down well by the babies but not so well with Nutkin and Willow. Pearl and Hermione love peanut butter.
