Big Momma!

Onyx my big black velvet is due around the 23rd of this month.
I am getting so excited...ca't wait to have babies again! It's been a long time.
Since Onyx may be a ebony carrier I have her mated to a nice dark ebony male. She is huge and seems to be gaining about 20 grams a day now...some days more at this rate she could explode by her due date! She is over 950 now approaching 1000 gr. fast and she's a first time mom too. I'm getting scared these are going to be huge kits. Am I over reacting? Is this normal? She is about 750 not pregnant.
Ginger is the only chin I've had that has had kits and she has had singles both times.

Mirage gained like that with her first litter, and she's usually around 735g. She had triplets, though many chins can gain and have one. I wouldn't worry

Yeah, I'm quite surprised that there are no pictures of the big mommy...I was definitely expecting some.

okay I promise to get some "Big Momma" pics up soon...teehee!
She is such a love too! She doesn't mind being held at all in her condition....of course I am extra so careful with her.
