Around 12:45 last night...

Postby Sam*ron » Wed Jan 12, 2005 11:52 am

Saphire had babies. ^^ Me and Kinko were getting ready to go to bed, and I noticed, little red blobs under Saphire! ^__^

I don't know whats wrong with her, and why she just had babies now, but it was a great surprise. I didn't expected it at ALL.

She had five, but three died. So there are only two left.

They seem healthy, and they are now about 11 hours old. ^_^

I am happy. Now I need to get the pics on my computer! I can start showing you guys.

Awww!

Good luck with the kids! :thumb:

Once they're past the one-day mark, they usually survive. (And don't worry. Usually it's only a couple that live anyway :(...it's sad but that's how God keeps them from overpopulating...like He does with wolves and should probably start doing with humans :lol: )

Money, get away
Get a good job with good pay and you're okay
And all and all you're just another brick in the wall
Shoutin’ in the street gonna take on the world some day
But Bismallah will not let me go
Because I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
Bright eyes burning like fire
And exposing every weakness
However carefully hidden by the kids

Who will love a little Sparrow
Who's traveled far and cries for rest
Spare him his life from this monstrosity

I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all
And if the band youre in starts playing different tunes
We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you!

What kind of animal is saphire?
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

I don't think so, not with gerbils. I don't know about in the wild, but in captivity, most of the offspring survive. Our last couple had four litters, and all but one of the twenty babies survived past maturity. And we think it died from other causes (we had some complications after they were born.), not from birthing problems or anything like that.

We have suspicions about Saphire. I don't think she's a very good candidate for breeding. Seeing as it took her so long to actually have the babies, and that she gave birth to three dead ones... and one of the live ones -now that we've gotten a better look at it, seems a little sickly.

Hopefully they'll all live. That would be sad if one of them died now.


Sam*ron took some pictures of the babies and stuff. But it seems she can't get the pictures off the camera onto her computer. So it might be a while before she can get the pictures up. She's working on it though.

...One just died about a few hours ago, I am pretty sure that the other one will be fine.

Now there is only one left. Please pray for it.

Thanks guys. Here are some pics, of them. Sorry about being so blurry.

1.This is when they were being born, last night.

2.Here is the one that died, it's alive there.. I am glad I could get some pics of it before it died.

3.This is the one thats still alive. Cute! ^^

4.Here they are together, before the one on the right died, you can see that the one that died is a little bit paler than the one on the left, that shows that it was sick. [it's still alive in that one]

Warning, the baby IF it doesn't die, will grow fast, so it will be real fun to watch it grow!! I can't wait to show you guys all of it!
