Well, some of you know that my doe, Emmy, gotpregnant a month ago. She had her babies right on schedule 31days later (which was yesterday).Thereare3 lovely little babes. They're all healthy asfar as I know.
What I would like to know is:
- Can they be handled right away after birth, or will the mother cannibalize/abandon them?
- Is it ok to be letting other people take a quick peek at the babies, or is it harmful?
- Should I start feeding Emmy more, or any supplements?
- Should the nest be cleaned at all? (If so, when can I do it?)
- Should I leave the cage alone, and just clean the litterbox, or can I clean out all the fur and blood? : P
- What about the development of the babies? When will they be completely weaned and such?
Any other information, suggestions, comments are welcome!
Thanks for any help!
