You must be so proud of them jenny. So glad they're doing so well. You deserve a happy event after your recent loss.

Hi Where are you located, I am after dilute chippie.

[jennyb]

Hi, babies are now ten days old and they already have white fur coming through and still look well but they don't squeak as loud now but still make small squeaks and they move around alot in the nest, i doubt Hermione gets much sleep.

Hi bettyboop, i live in the South-East but i'm very sorry i would like to keep this litter as its our first successful litter since 2003 and i am already attached to them. I have never had newborn Dilutes before so am looking forward to seeing them grow up.

Bettyboop i hope you find a Dilute soon, i wish you luck.

 They look so cute.
Can't believe Squidgy and Gubey are grany and granpa chipmunks.
Happy days

Hi thanks Chiptastic and Judy yeah my mum said they look like sausages too

The babies are 10cm long including their tails. I haven't weighed them yet but they all seem well and are warm. They all wriggle alot. I won't next handle them until monday now so have a few pictures from today. I also have a video which i'll download soon.

Babies are now two weeks old. The white fur is coming through well, the tails have fur on now 
They all have little claws and the whiskers i think are longer. They are 11 cm long. They are so lovely.

Love the picks.
I love the fact they are all white.
So cute. Are you keeping all of them?
And How is Abigail doing?

[DayleC]

look at them!!!!!   I'm sooooooooooooooooooooo pleased they are doing so well.....

[jennyb]

Thanks Judy, yeah they are a lovely litter so pleased with them. Yep i will be keeping them. Abigail is doing fine she was chasing Bailey around today and was busy eating and burying food around the aviary. I gave them some kiwi and orange today and Abigail ate some of the Kiwi then ate a bit of orange and then she dug up a seed and ate that too. She looks well. They all are looking well. Bailey was up to his usual mischief he ignored the fruit and jumped into the bag of Chipmunk food instead and then tried to get up my trouser leg. Asriel when i went in jumped on my head and then he went into the bag of Chipmunk food too.  A few pics of them enjoying what little sunshine we have had. I will get one of Pearl in the aviary she had been busy making a nest, found she had pulled all the bedding out of the nestbox and made a bed in the corner of the sleeping house. It can still get cold at night so i put the bedding back in the nest box, she wasn't pleased.

Thanks Dayle
