Posted - 24/04/2013 : 21:24:05 This week Living Gems profiles Nephrite. Nephrite was born in July 2010. Like her sister Jadeite (profiled last week), she was a rare acquisition from a small local breeder, made to diversify our genetics with promising local blood. We named Nephrite, as with all Living Gems females, after a semiprecious gemstone.
Here is Nephrite in October 2010, in her deli cup, just after she arrived at Living Gems:

Here is Nephrite as of January 2013, on the occasion of her second (and a half) birthday:

Currently weighing 1168 grams, we expect either Nephrite or her sister Jadeite (last week’s topic) to join our breeder ranks for the 2015 season.
Thank you for reading, |

Posted - 26/04/2013 : 20:33:50 Thank you Graeme and Moppet! I like the last photo too. Bunny, many breeders will pair their animals young and light -- 2.5 years and 1500 grams. I think that's too soon. Waiting only leads to better results. |

Posted - 26/04/2013 : 10:10:12 Yet another stunner :D Wow, you got her in 2010 and she won't breed until 2015 - that's a serious time commitment. Bet she produces some gorgeous babies for you in the future :) |
