Hi all, just an update on Mum and Bubs. There are now only 7 left, one died unexpectedly last week. When I found it his body was black - any ideas on what caused that? Mum is doing very well she loves to get out and have run outside but she also loves to bite my feet. My hand is looking like a tiger got to it but she's just exerting authority over her babies! I've been drip feeding the two smaller babies formula as they are only half the size of the two fattest...I think I will start to feed them all so they get used to being handled. And do they squeal loud or what! never thought something 3 weeks old could make such a noise! Can anyone please tell me when you can tell what colour they will turn out? So far they all look white still but a couple look like they might have dark patches of skin...not quite sure.
So anyway all is well for first time Mum and owner. Babies are mostly boys too. Bye.
