Introducing Thunder Storm ROX
Posted on September 4th, 2010 by Allen
September 3, 2010 Thunder Storm ROX was born at 12:45 to Rose. There were some small complications and thankful Dr. Anne Parker from Compassion Animal Hospital was nearby and able to assist in the birth. Thunder’s shoulders were catching on Rose’s pelvis and he was having trouble coming out. He weighed 16 pounds, which is a nice sized cria, especially for Rose as she’s smaller female.
The interesting things was Snowfox was the one we were watching for giving birth. She was bred two weeks earlier than Rose so we should have another cria shortly.
Here are some pictures from Thunder’s first day:
