You'll have to migrate your data manually in your migration, yes.

Besides that, if you don't want actual Base instances, then this is an
abstract class, and you should do this:

class Base(models.Model):
    eggs....
    plants....
    class Meta:
        abstract=True

class Foo(Base):
    carpet=....

class Bar(Base):
    car=....
