Title: double babies
Post by: rag on June 27, 2011, 07:02:06 PM

Both my couples had babies the same day. first set had one and the second set had 2. Last kit was still in with one set of parents so I took it out but have to leave the males in with family--- gotta build another cage  :doh:

That's not good to leave dads with moms right after birth.The females are in heat so mark you calender for the next litters.
Congrats on the babies. ::bouncyball::I hope you get enough cages for the Nov. births.Breed backs are very taxing on the females.One doesn't usually cause too much problems,though you might want to increase their calcium. ::nod::

you can give fruit flavoured tums - a quarter every few days. my fluffy just took it and ate it like a nugget. also, alfalfa contains more calcium so you can add that.
