Li'l Orphan Peppermint

Introducing Nehi Minis Li'l Bit's Peppermint. Peppermint is an orphan. Her dam died Monday evening, a few hours after kidding, of internal complications. Nothing could be done to save her, although we worked with her for hours.

This little doeling has elf ears and blue eyes, and is a champion bottle baby - Feral Nature Farms Happy is the sire.

The flash lit up her eyes so the pupils look blue. She does have blue eyes, however.
