Day 23, 18/12/2009:
When she's not trying to savage me, Romany is an excellent mummy:
Romany is somewhere under that pile!!!!
It's been tough getting madam off of the nest at all without losing some vital red fluid (and it's entirely personal, she just hates ME, ho hum) so these have been taken over the last few days. I'll try and get some three week pics on Wednesday.
Shame this one's come out blurred, as I still don't know what colour she is:

We are big and clever babies and we can eat solid noms:

Some of the babies have opened their eyes already - super advanced little babies!!!

Two more of them have opened their eyes, but I didn't manage to catch it on film!

Babies Day 4, 29/11/2009:
The roan is a boy, and he is dumbo. There apppears to be only one dumbo-rex, who is also a boy.
Babies Day 3 28/11/2009:
Romany is a very protective mother, which she has inherited from her own mum. I am therefore really only handling them once a day at the moment, to avoid stressing her out TOO much.
Preliminary attempts at sexing indicate 3 girls and 9 boys. Depending on the colours of girls, all three may be looking for homes.
Mum, at Day 23 of pregnancy:
