Born one of triplets, all charcoal carriers - one beige male (Walnut), one beige female (Pecan)  and one standard female (Cherry).  The first litter that Nellie had.

 

The whole litter will be kept as part of the ongoing breeding program of Charcoals that is taking place at Greenwood.  It is hoped that by crossing the carriers from this litter to carriers from the other litters produced we can work at strengthening and increasing the number of good quality charcoals in this country.

 

Walnut was the smallest born of this litter and for the first few days lost a lot of weight - going down to 40g at which time I feared I would lose him. But a few supplementary hand feeds and some time alone with mum built up his strength and he has been gaining weight rapidly - even starting to catch up his two sisters even though now they are all just feeding from mum together.

 

She is the darker coloured of the beiges in the litter.
