::silly::Cute kits!
The one on the left (the lightest of the 3), is it a male or a female?
It is very hard on a first-time mom to have quads. You were lucky to be able to keep 3 of the 4. Are you giving her any supplements?
Was dad still with her when they were born? Is he with her now?
How old are the kits now?

The one all the way on the left is a female the middle is a male and the right is a female...the one that died was a female..I have been giving Bella water downed applejuice and a supplement from the breeder I bought her from I have also been giving her some tums with calcium. I had to hand feed all the babies for a few days and she had to give birth when I had to leave town for an evening...I put my finacee in charge and I shouldnt have!...I made him call me several times and he kept saying they were all fine. When I got back the one female was almost dead I used a kitten replacement formula but it was too late for her the other 2 females were really skinny but luckly with me feeding them every couple hours they survived. The male of the litter who is the biggest was always big right from the start. I took Bearnie the dad out right away when I saw that she was in labor because I didnt want him to "back-breed" her. He is still seperated. I know that males will tend to help, but I like to give my females a break between litters especially when its their first litter. I was deffinitly shocked to see 4 kits and it is sad I lost one but the other 3 are healthy as can be.
They are about 4 weeks old now!
