Micro English Angora Baby

On New Year's day 2026, I had a litter of 2 English Angora babies born 2 days earlier than expected.  They were small and looked like premees, but still health looking.   They needed help to nurse and mom was cooperative enough to allow tummy feeding.  

The two babies stayed alive but not thrieving as much as I had hoped for.  On January 11, one died and the other one was as small as the day was born.   I did not expect it to stay alive but today at 10 weeks old, she is alive and well, but as small as a  4 or 5 week-old.   

This is the little girl next to a container for 48 oz of Macaroni Salad. 

She is so tiny that she fits into the container.  She is still less than 2 pounds at 10 weeks old.  A normal 10-week-old English Angora should be be between 3-4 pounds and some chubby ones could be more than 4 pounds.     We call her the Micro Girl, smaller than a Mini.   She is as sweet as tame as it could be; if not grown to the minimum weight for English Angora showing, she will be a perfect indoor pet.
