Wild Babies!! (with pix)

Postby Archangel » Wed Jan 02, 2008 7:53 pm

Hi all

the bluey population in sydney has just risen another 9 or so (hard to count cause they move too much) thankx to a wild bluey that gave birth in my backyard about an hour ago.

Happy New Year!!!

A bluey birth in your backyard! That's incredible....

Thanks for sharing! Are you going to just watch them or offer food?

Boy I would want to scoop them all up and take them in and make them some food. Good thing I don't have babies in my back yard ... I'd be in trouble for sure. :lol: Thanks for sharing.

I think there were about 8or 9 of the cuties, really hard to count them cause they were creeping under the fence and would scatter back when i went around the other side. Managed to get my hands on one of the little ones temporarily just to show my lil sister (she loves blueys)... hard to comprehend that mine was once that small and hes not even full grown...

I fed the proud mother a bit of extra food i made for my bluey once i was confident she was finished making new additions...

they were gone by sunset. im Hoping to see them around soon... ive been on the lookout.. theyve prolly gone down the creek across the park out the back of my house.
