Subject: [ferrethealth] Birth of a Litter
To: <ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com>
I have a real treat for all of you.
Last night/early morning, one of my jills gave birth to her second litter.
I tried to get some video of Val giving birth to the babies, and I have put
the clips together, and have them online.
Do not be afraid to watch. It is not bloody or particularly gross. Since
this was Val's second litter, she did have an easier time then a first time
mom might have, but this is a fairly good example of what a normal ferret
delivery is like - at least to the extent I have experienced the process.

I have seen human babies delivered (I assisted with the birth of all 3 of my
grandsons) and personally, I think that a human delivery is much bloodier
and grosser then a ferret delivery.
You may want to turn up your sound. If you do, you can hear the babies
squeaking, and at one point you can even hear Val groan a little during a
contraction.
I hope you find this video interesting and informative.

Be sure to grab the entire URL addresses.
The film address worked for me for the

address did not, saying that it is out of bounds but that there are 5 photos.
I'll alert Danee to make that accessible so it may work later.]
