00:03
I went up to feed our Barbary sheep at around 8 o'clock
00:05
and as I was putting the food out for the Barbary sheep,
00:07
I looked over to check our zebras.
00:10
I saw Keeva and I thought, "Oh, she looks a bit funny.
00:12
Her belly isn't quite as big and she has too many legs."
00:15
And I was like, "Oh my gosh, we have a baby."
00:17
And yeah, I was very excited.
00:19
We are just waiting to see if it's a boy or a girl
00:23
and then from there we'll kind of look at names
00:25
and yeah, get to that.
00:27
In the past, we have kind of tried to follow
00:30
with the first letter of mum's name,
00:31
but we have too many K names and too many J names
00:34
from our other mare.
00:35
So we might try and do something different this time.
00:37
You know, normally the foals try and stay really close to mum
00:40
and mum is really protective,
00:41
but this foal is more than happy to go
00:43
and annoy its big brothers and dad,
00:45
which is yeah, funny to watch.
00:46
So the new little foal is doing really well.
00:49
So obviously one of the first things we want to see
00:51
is that they're up and about and moving around.
00:53
They're really active.
00:54
We definitely want to see them drinking from mum
00:55
quite early on and so far we're seeing all of those things
00:59
and mum herself is being really healthy also.
01:01
So she's protecting her foal.
01:03
You know, she's still interacting with the rest of the group as well.
01:06
Do all the right things.
01:07
So we're really happy with how they're progressing at the moment.
