A Californian Preparing for the Birth of her Kits

--Divider--

 
This is Magee's Maria (Champion # U942) on the 31st day of her pregnancy. She is plucking fur from her dewlap and side to put in a nesting box for her kits.

She is carrying the fur to her nest box.

Maria is now gathering hay to put in her box with the fur.

The doe goes in and out of her box, preparing it for her kits.

Fur, hay and pine shavings in the Doe's box will help keep the new kits warm.

8 new babies!
In less than 2 hours, Maria has built a nest and delivered her babies.
They are furless, deaf and blind at birth.
