Update on baby bun buns

[njpal]

Hi all. The babies are now nearly 5 days old andare growing and moving ever so quickly now. I handled a few of thebaies today and they seemed like a very adventurous bunch.

I have attached somepics.I'mafraidquality might not be sogood. All the photos i took have comeblurry so Ididn't attach the close upsof the babiesunfortunately. Time to get a digital camera??

Our nest box is home made and is quite large. The litter seem to bemiving around andtoday when I checked 2 were away from therest. Is this natural or should I place everyone back in the centeragain???

Also I noticed a few black spotson some of the babies pinkskin. Does it mean that they will have colouredpatches inthis area or something??

Here's a birds eye view of the nest Riya made.The babies are buried deep into the fur where they would very cosy andwarm and so are not visible.

Sometimes the babies will get warm and crawlaway to cool off a bit, and as long as there are 2-3 babies groupedtogether, they should be warm enough. By now they arestarting to get their own fur and by next week they won't really needall of mom's fur that much.

I think they'll be just fine, but someone that has more experience with babies may be able to give you more information.

PS: Mom and babies are so cute, keep the pictures coming!!
