New Baby reindeer to my herd

Oh Jeeves and Tigga just melt your heart! How sweet! They are all so cute and cuddlie! lol Thanks for the beautiful pictures!

 

The pic of Jeeves resting his head on Tigga just melted my heart!!!! Thanks for the pic's....life does go on.

 

Thanks for the lovely happy photos. The sweethearts are so adorable!

 

Karen, I am sorry if this is a bother, but if you check page 144, post #2878, and others on that page, it clearly shows that it is Tigga with the colorful blue collar, and Jeeves - being the darker one - with the red collar.
I haven't wanted to say anything further, but it could be very important in their treatments (which one has been getting the milk?) and to whom they are sold, to be sure to have the right sex!
I hope you don't mind my saying so. I've been a bit concerned because of all the pain and stress you've been under, that it might not be caught in time.
Your photos/babies are beautiful - thank you so much for posting them! I hope they help to ease your heart, as they do ours.
Storm looks so amazing in his new blue collar!! It really brings out how gorgeous he is!!

 

Farmlily, don't worry, it honestly is Jeeves (male) in blue head collar. I know he looks a lot different colour now but their colour changes dramatically as they first moult out some of their undercoat and then their topcoat. Tigga has now lost almost all of hers and is now in her very dark summer coat. Jeeves has lost a lot of his undercoat (which was darker) and left with lighter guard hairs which are dead coat and pale. He too will be dark brown very soon but his growth/development will be delayed slightly without his mother's milk. Seeing them daily I see how they change & red head collar (Tigga) is the one with Twiglet and feeding from her - it would be difficult for me to mix them up, apart from a typing error!

Just a silly of Storm

 

' I am hiding, you can not see me'

 

Thank you for taking the time to answer, Karen. I hope it was not a bother to you. I hope things are becoming a little easier for you, as you lovingly tend to your beautiful herd.
As always, loooove your photos!!

 

Looks as if the toner is running out! (Tigga, Jeeves, Storm)

And a video of eating their willow browse (had a massive foraging trip yesterday).

A trailer load..

 

Thank you Karen! It is amazing how much Jeeves seems to have changed color! I love the video, nice
to see them eating a treat! So, how long will it take them to eat all that willow? Better yet, how long did it take for you to get it all?

 

They are only allowed increasing amounts daily in order for their gut bacteria to build up to digest... They will have a feast for about a week and then I will have to decrease them slowly in order for the relevant bacteria to die off slowly... I have my own willow to feed daily BUT not this quantity.
King of the silly poses - Storm..

 

Thanks! I think Storm is turning into quite the little ham!

 

Thanks for the pictures and video. It is nice to see Jeeves grazing with the others. As Sanddollar said, Storm is beginning to be quite a little character!

 

As baby moult continues, Freddy is starting to look very smart, baby Belle looks dreadful

 

What a difference! Poor Belle looks like the moths got at her, and Freddy looks just plain dapper!

 

Freddy's antlers have gotten so big. Is he going to grow into his feet. lol Beautiful coat.

 

Freddy is certainly looking a very smart young man. I am sure that Belle will soon start to look beautiful!

 

Didn't Freddy have a 2 week head start? Baby Reindeer grow so fast. They will all be Picture Perfect very soon.

 

Freddy did have a head start and you are correct, they grow so quickly - two weeks makes a huge difference (and he has a whole month on Storm).
Big day for the babies today as they got their first inoculation. It's pretty nasty stuff as it usually causes abscesses if given subcutaneously or limping for several days if intramuscular. Vaccine needs to be used within 10 hours of breaching so I had delayed until Storm was old enough to cope, then Jeeves lost his mother, so I put it off until today...
They still have ear tagging to cope with, (maybe next week) and then their second booster vaccine in 4-6 weeks.

Another hot day today so not many photo ops as reindeer hiding from flies.
Once again Storm had the photo of the day - he's a real Ham. He needs a career in Show Biz..

 

Bless him, he is so cute!

 

What an adorable ham!!!!
