The Russian buff litter are so chunky and fat. I adore them. The Essex also have eyes now and are very sweet little bundles of fluff.

Two healthy litters doing well. There does seem to be a lot of bucks again though!

Little ones are doing well. Winters litter of Russian buff has 5 and Amber’s essex litter has 9. All fat and chunky as they should be.

We will be tweaking our homing process going forward to make it easier for everyone.

Rather than having an ongoing list, we will only open it once we have kittens born / ready to go to new homes. That means that no one is waiting a long time and I will hopefully not have to chase people quite so much to see if they are still waiting.

Currently I still have quite a few people waiting (mostly for does) so I will be working my way through those still on our current list - this will remain as it was until everyone has had their kittens or asked to be removed.

If you are unsure of your status on the list or have any questions please send me an email at [email protected]

Christmas babies….. and boxing day babies! Having some time with family and trying to avoid technology for a few days but thought this deserved a quick post. So excited for both these litters!

I will be sending updates and collection emails this evening after all the cleaning out.

They are growing in size and confidence. I have no doubt they’ll make great pets.

Both litters are doing well. There are lots of bucks and not many does. For our oldest litter that are now four weeks I’ll be starting to think about who will be staying here before then emailing the waiting list.
The younger litter are 2 and a half weeks and although most are thriving, two are quite a bit smaller and one of them in particular looks to be quite weak. They are feeding and mom is doing a wonderful job so fingers crossed they’ll make it. I’ll be looking for special homes for them if they do!

Growing like weeds and I can’t get over just how much a litter of 16 & 17 can eat!

09/11/2024

Some updates as somehow all 16 in Raven’s litter are thriving and now have their eyes. I don’t know where the time is going. I’ve now upgraded their cage as they will be soon leaving the nest and getting up to mischief.
The youngest lot are all also doing well and getting some pigment through.

I’ve been expecting another litter for a few days as mum had become enormous, and today mum finally popped with an amazing 17 born and all looking very healthy too. The nest was deceiving as the babies were piled very nearly and it only looked like a small litter. I will have my hands full for sure.

Another doe with a promising baby belly. Fingers crossed for another healthy litter and easy birth for mum.

02/11/2024

All 16 doing well and putting on weight and now have some colour!

27/10/2024

16 healthy babies this morning born to Gemstone Raven. What a superstar mum. All have good healthy milk bands and are active and noisy. Despite her nesting spot being right under the water bottle.

I am back from my holidays and slowly catching up over the next couple of days. Please bear with me if you’re waiting on a reply.

13/07/2024

I have almost placed all of the current litter but due to many of the people waiting on my list going away and wanting to wait, these gorgeous girls will now be available again. They will likely be ready to leave from the week beginning the 22nd. If you are interested send me a message.

These guys are growing fast and nearly ready to split into buck and doe cages. There is a wait for does still but there could well be bucks available.
