Picco - our hero!

A few day after our V-litter was born, a tragedy happened: their mother Boshoi died. The three babies were too young to get on well alone, so I had not other choice but to put them to their grandma, Picco. Picco was still taking care of her 5 (!) babies at that time. So, she was with 8 babies for almost 2 weeks! I certainly took off her 5 babies as soon as they were 3 weeks old, so Pico is with her grandchildren only at the moment. She is such a good mother, she accepted the three "additional" babies from the first second, and takes really good care of them since that.

I am very proud of her!
