Title: New baby!!
Post by: Daisys Mum on January 05, 2013, 11:19:46 am
Lovely surprise when I went out this morning, Petal has given birth to a lovely baby boy. Clever little girl did it all on her own, we did not expect her to deliver until the end of the month but the person we bought her from only have a covering date for one of the two so she must have been caught early. I will post pictures when I figure out how to resize them on my iPad . Both seem well although there is no sign of an afterbirth, will she have eaten it?

Well done Petal  :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:


She could well have eaten it - it's natural so I would overly worry - just keep an eye on her back end (as usual!!!)
