Well I put my new tan female Spice in with my white male, Trooper and a standard female Bebe, just after Christmas.
Well Monday evening I found Spice & Bebe in a corner with 2 white kits, and dad sitting just out from them.
One was completely dried but the other was still very wet.
I had to do a double take as both females were wet on the chin & chest. I didn't think Spice was this far along. My first though was Bebe was pregnant too but I didn't realize it.
Nope, took them out and it was Spice. She had 2 little males, looks like a pink white at 47 and a tan white at 45 grams.
The kits were trying to nurse from both females so being a worried slave I put Mom and kits in a smaller cage for the night.
Last night I put them back with Bebe & took Trooper out. He knew what was going on. ;)
Well Bebe was so excited to see the kits again, and Spice took a quick hop around the cage, ate her treat and all four huddled in the birthing house.
The kits have figured out who mom is but Bebe is doing an awesome job helping.
This being Spices first litter I truly felt more comfortable with her having Bebe there.
I am so happy with how it went.
I'll put a few pics in my album.
there are more and video's on FB

That is incredible! I am so glad it worked out for you and them.

Dad is back now too, and all is perfect. The kits are never alone. ;)
I am going to have to try this again, with a few more. ::nod::
I have a 2 new kits I`m keep, a male and a female.So I`m going to put the female with another and then try introducing the new male as the youngest matures.
