It looks like Jasper will be the third Living Gems girl to deliver in 2016. As she closes in on her delivery date, I wanted to quickly outline why this litter is so exciting.

Jasper is a top bullseye animal produced in August 2009 from early-line bullseye stock. Her pattern is readily apparent from this baby photo, taken in May 2010:

She was paired with Prometheus, a gorgeous high-red male:

(Note there was another male in with them for part of the season, a result of an accidental switch between a male and female sibling who was supposed to be in that group…but Prometheus clearly proved himself the dominant male. He was caught in three separate tail wraps with his girl, whereas the other male was not spotted in any.)

If all goes well, we should see some high red bullseye babies emerge in a few months!

As always, thank you for reading,

What beautiful animals!!! I'm so glad that I got on your waitlist a while back and I can't wait to see some of the babies you produce this year.

Thank you. I have been checking it almost daily for any updates. It's a bit like shaking the packages under the Christmas tree hoping to guess what's in them;)
