mating!

Long time since the last update.

Today deserves SPECIAL MENTION. Cookie and Cotton did something really really intimate today! They mated.

That's all? I can sense your shock. The horror.

Yah right, like they mate everyday...we have a video of the last bit of the mating. Last bit, mind you. And that last bit is about 3 minutes of scrambling all over cookie and thrusting.

Enough graphic details. The next 3 weeks will be growth and growth for her. This lump of 2 - 14 foetuses will be developing in her, and when she gives birth, cream will have to leave the cage to make way for the new litter! Also, we will not be able to wash the cage for 2 whole weeks. Please don't stink! And no handling of the babies before 3 weeks+ when they are still being weaned =)

Stressful huh. Can't compare to cookie!
