Born: Unknown
Born in a litter of two, Acacia (66g) was the larger kit in the litter, her brother, Balsam, being slightly smaller (63g).
I am hoping that the kits keep mums lovely temperament and dads friendliness.
Acacia is a bossy little dear and screams at her mum if she moves away before she has finished feeding!
At 3 weeks old Acacia and Balsam were moved to Tansy to be weaned as her milk was not strong enough for the three triplets she had born, so she fed the twins whilst they were also feeding on pellet - so all the babies had the best chance of survival and all have thrived.
Since weaning Acacia has grown well and gets darker as she grows. Her fur is good and strong and appears to be very dense so she will make a good addition to our sapphire breeding program when she is old enough.
