    Biggest litter EVAR!!

    For me, at least I was checking on all the feeders this evening, and found 21 squirmy little pink things. My previous 'largest litter' was 14, but that was in my cannibal colony and it dropped to 5 :/.

    I wish I had taken pics of mama before she dropped, she was humongous! This is out of the same colony that's produced some black eyed whites, so hopefully I'll get some more.



    It looks like I'll have a few all white and some lighter cinnamon ones. Woop woop!

    Yup! I just in the last week put a new holdback male to a girl to see what comes out. I have some abnormal patterning that I would like to see amplified by selective breedings.

    My largest litter ever was 26, and momma looked ridiculous laying spread eagle on top of them. Natals are awesome for their large litters; they produce like crazy! Somewhat makes up for their small adult size.

    Grats on your phat litter!

    Wow! That is quite the litter!! I've seen some litters close to the 20's, and with multiple mothers nursing at the same time its pretty comical to see them spread out over an enormous pile of babies!!
