Hi KyWoods,

Yes, so far we have 4 Heidi babies, 3 Juliet babies, and 1 from Diva. 8 babies, and there could be more since last year Fraidy didn't show up until much later than the others.

It's great to have so many babies. However, when they are all there at once, it gets a little crowded. I get better photo ops with 3 kits than with 8 kits and 3 moms - then I just get pics of backs and tails. When all of them are present, the moms get nervous. That negative energy gets transfered to the kids. They get hyper, don't play very much, etc. But maybe in time they will become more comfortable around each other.

The pic below shows Heid and her kits on the left (front), Diva on the right, and Juliets bunch in the background - box heighlighted around Juliet's kits to lighten them and make them easier to see. If I try to lighten the whole pic enough to see the kits in back, the ones in front will be over exposed and washed out, so I did it this way as a compromise.
