Our chin, Clover, whom we purchased from a breeder in August, gave birth this weekend! We had absolutely no clue she was pregnant and were very surprised to find her and a brand new baby boy Saturday morning.
I knew our cage wasn't appropriate for a newborn kit (he could slip through the bars), plus there's so much I don't know about caring for kits so I called our breeder. She agreed to loan us a cage, and gave us a few other tips. So I'm very secure in that he'll be fine at this point.
The problem I have is that she claims that he belongs to her, since the birth happened less than 111 days since we bought Clover. She says she tells everyone who buys a female from her, that, if they give birth within that time, the kit is hers.
This stinks to high heaven from my point of view, because I know darn well that she told us nothing of the sort. Plus, there's no written contract to back up what she says.
Can I just tell her to go to ****, and keep the kit? We definitely want him (and yes I know we will have to keep mother and son separated before he's of a certain age), or does she have a legitimate claim?
