I'd give a guess at 3 - but could be 2 - nice and healthy looking so I guess you just can't wait!!! Last year one of mine that had 2 nice sized kids (easy delivery) looked like the back end of a bus!!

I think only two- must be quite unusual for pygmy's to have more than 2.

Hi
Yes she had two cracking little kids! My other female who I thought was NOT in kid had twins. We was very shocked!

Thanks
