We have 4 girls, Lola, Roxy, Honey and Luna, and one boy, Loui. Loui was a loan just for breeding but hes such a cutie we got attached to him and he ended up staying.

Lola is the matriarch even tho shes the last one anyone expected, when he sister dies before xmas she was left with an almost blind adult and 2 2 3-4 month olds so she didnt have the choice.

Honey

I dont have any photos of the others to hand just yet but I will get some good ones soon hopefuly.
 
Aww, Lola looks a bit like my Lola :)

They're all very cute
 
Lola and Delilah were stunning; and Honey is just sweet!

Please get your camera out again!
 
thanks guys, i wont be able to get any more photos till next week at least as they have all gone of to graney's (theirs, my mum) for the week as we are going away so i wont be able to get any snaps. will try and remember when i get back.
 
honey had her litter last sunday, the day after they went to mums house for the week. Unfortunatly one was still born and 2 others dies a couple of days later, we dont know why, so now shes just got one that mum nicknamed sugar and i think its gonna stick. Shes albino which we didnt expect and a right fuzz ball. we have some pics of her and her siblings before they died so i will upload them when i can.

Luna is definatly pregnant possibly 2-3 weeks away so little sugar should have some play mates soon.

We left all 4 girls together and they all look after the baby fine. none of them had had babies before so i think they where all a bit confused, the others should of looked after the other babies. We though they were going to be very strong as they were really kicking us hard while she was pregnant but they all turned out to be rather weak. Apparently one of the ones that died was quite big.

Like i said, pics to come asap.
 
Right then heres an update. Got some more pics of my herd and their cage so you can see what I'm talking about when i go on about it.

Loui, this is before we got him, he used to live outside with about 6 other boys so he was not a big boy but hes bulked up quite a bit since we had him.

well Luna had her litter yesterday morning. 3 healthy babies, 2 girls a boy, which is what we wanted. The boy is a teddy bear for some reason, gray brown colour, very cute, both girls are rosette one the same colour as the boy but with a bit of white and the other a black white and cream, we are keeping the boy and possibly the black white and cream one and will sell sugar and coco, the other female together. the boy is called ted, not very imaginative i know but my sister named him and the black white and cream is called bella.

i have got some pics but theyre not great, will post them soon
 
sorry ive not updated recently but things have changed again. We lost Lola a couple of months ago, were not sure what it was but she was refusing to eat. and we have got 2 new boys. a new family moved in next door a little while ago and they had these 2 boys. they came round and met our bunch and asked if we wanted their boys too as they couldn't look after them anymore. so we now have 2 gray white and cream half Abyssinian boys, they are so cute. we are using them for breeding this time and breeding Bella and honey who are similar colors so should hopefully get some beautiful babies.

i will try and get some good pics of them today and upload them later.
