We got our very first "Best exhibit in show"
Plus "Best crested in show" and "Best boar in show"

The August club show was a big surprise! It was a small show but I was focused learning and listening to the cavy judge while helping other exhibitors with handling.

My daughter is showing our cavy as I was busy. Totally unprepared and don't know what to say when I realised late that the wins/ribbons went to our cavy! 😱

Thanks to everyone at the shows and to the cavy judge :)

My very first Sheba mini yak bubs that's born here at Yhurkatha caviary 😊πŸ₯°

Went this morning to check if mum pops out the babies as she is due and was happy to see 4 healthy bubs warm and cozy under mum :)

6.5 inches wide from side to side!
Definitely more than 6.5 inches the size of a dinner plate when she's relax !
I'm always get nervous when they are this big. Really hoping that mum push through and will get some viable ones to continue with... still have 1 week to go. 😬

Finally after a few months! My Himalayan cavy had babies! 😊 cross fingers for a showable one or two! 😊😊😊

A bit of back story..

I came home yesterday and immidiately checked on my Himi pregnant girl as I know she is due anytime. Lucky I came home a few minutes early from work. The bubs are still all wet indicating that they're just born 5 to 10 minutes ago, but one is away from the rest. Saw the 1 bub still enclosed with her amniotic sac and can not really move at all and just barely have the tip of her nose gasping for air due to the amniotic sac that still all over her and trapping her. I quickly picked the bub up and she was as cold as ice! πŸ₯Ά and no movement so I quickly heated the heat pillow and put the bub on it after, while I continuously massaging the bub making sure he is breathing (faint breaths). After a few minutes the bubs started to warm up and the bub took her first big breath and move her head so I returned her back to mum. I'm thinking that if mum didn't took care of her and left her out then there should be a reason why the bub has been left out by mum and I was thinking maybe there's something wrong with the bub.
I was hoping for the best in the morning that I will see the bub in normal state. The photo shows that the bub seemed to have recovered. Hoping for the bubs continious growth and good health.

Some of you probably already know that the Summer of 2023 was not a good season for us. I have lost all my Rex stock my most favorite breed of cavy that I worked on since the start :(
I have been getting some new lines since but it seems to be that I'm not getting any much luck with the babies.
About 3 months ago or so I got offered some Rex from JOM stud (thanks to Sandy and Geoff). I decided I will do what I did before when I first started with the cavy fancy -to breed my own line of Rex so I know what genes I'm actually working with on my line.

Got some carriers now and it will be a lot of work but I'm hoping they'll breed me some good ones in the future.
Cheers to a new beginning! πŸ₯‚

Here's a photo of another carrier born 4hrs ago 😊
