The 4 babies are growing up to fast!!
JP and Mary are 1 month old now and so big - Matilda and Peggy-Sue are nearly 3 weeks - although sometimes it feels like I have always had them!

Here is JP at 6hrs old ...


and now at 1 month old....


Here is Mary at 6 hrs old...


and now at 1 month old...


Here is Matilda at 6hrs old...


and now at 2 1/2 weeks old...


Peggy Sue at 6 hrs old...


and at 2 1/2 weeks old...


I dont want to tempt fate but JP and Mary's coats are looking great so far but JP is such a fidget and does not like getting groomed! Mary is total opposite, very placid and sits perfectly still bless her - and ofcourse it would be the white face and white bum with the best show prospect!! more work for me!!
Matilda and Peggy Sue are looking good so far too.
Training on the show boards/grooming stand is going well with all babies sitting still. Time will tell if I get any to the show table but Im putting 100% effort in so fingers crossed - I will keep you updated and heres hoping for future.

They have come on so well. They will all be stunning when you get them into coat.

[petersons cavies - ADMIN]

Yes they are coming on very very well.

[tinkerpig]

yes Im looking forward to seeing what they will be like in coat - if I get them that far!! I think JP is def taking after his dad, he is massive!! a little fatty already! I will get them out to shows around April time I think - cant wait for all the showing to start gain I really miss it

gosh haven't they grown there gorgeous, how quickly will there coats come Lynn I think Mary's my favourite

[tinkerpig]

yes Annabel they have grown so quick - their coats will grow about an inch a month so at about 3/4 months old they should look like peruvians. Mary is shaping up nicely but there is always a risk of chewing or coat damage, its like im holding my breathe every time I check them over!! hope you are feeling better now annabel

[annabel - MOD]

we' ll all have to keep our fingers crossed, we had an alpaca who was barbared he eventually had a lovely coat and our newest rescues just look like Mary except there fully grown their hair grows towards their heads, yes I'm feeling a lot better thanks Lynn I don't ever want to feel like that again.

glad you feeling better
