I pasted this from the other section hoping to get more answers. Please help. Sorry, I did miss some info on my message. Dandy is/was the mom of the litter. She had three kits, 2 male, and 1 female, (actually 5, but 2 were still born). At the time of all oft his, all kits were about 4 1/2...

Last weekend my 2 baby males were living together quite happily, until something went wrong and a fight brokeout. They were seperated immediatly, but a couple days later the one male passed away. He had been taken to the vet right away but after having a complete exam, sub-que fluids, and an...

If mom and daughter have been in the same cagesincethe birth (daughter is now 4+ weeks) will they get alongas daughter gets older? We will be keeping atleast one ofDandy's babes, and since we have ( from what I can tell so far) 2males, and 1 female, I was just wondering if all would continue to...

That would be a possibility. Would they actuallyfigure it out? Hm, I will see what I can come up with for that. Thanks,Anything else?

Yes I can, however it will take up quite a bitof her space, but if that is the best thing, I guess it would be thesafest. I would feel just awful if one of them was to be hurt fromfalling that distance. I will have to wait until a bit later when myhusband gets back, so that he can reattach the...

Dandy's babies won't be 2 weeks until tommorow,but when I went down to feed and check on everyone, I noticed that thebabies weren't in the nest. Instead they were all crumpled together inthe corner by the litter box. The thing that worried me, was that inorder for them to get out of the nest...

Wow, it's all going so fast!!!! here are some one week old pics. baby 3 baby2 baby1 I will post more when they open their eyes.

My kits were born on the 13th of this month.Dandy pulled all of her hay from her feeder into her nest box the night I put the box in there. ( I put it in on the 9th, Saturday night) She pulled some fur on Monday, but not much. I was pretty sure that she would need more, judging by what she had...

Thank you, I do have some wood shavings that I was originally using as bedding in her big cage, but she would always dig them out of the way and lay on the floor anyway, so I quit using them. Does it matter if there are some rather small bits in the shavings? I supose that it would have to be...

I have also noticed that the kits are laying right on the bare wood of the nest box, should this be a concern? I am wondering if the wood has been wet underneath of them, which I would think could cause a problem, can you think of anything that I might be able to do to clean that up or cover it...

Dandy's babies are all doing well, staying nice and round, and changing so much every day. I will post some new pics as soon as I find the battery charger for my camera.My question to all of you is, from everything that I have heard, seen,or read, it says to clean the nest on day 10 to help...

Very well, thank you. They have already changed so much!!!! Baby 2 who I thought was looking more pink, and would be white, is now a silvery color, so I am thinking black/silver like Dad. They are very active and start worming around as soon as I touch the nest. I will post more pics as soon as...
