This is Pearl. She is about to give birth any day now.
This is Sapphire she gave birth the same day as Pearl. Unfortunately she did not know what to do after cleaning them so she left the babies to themselves overnight And went to sleep in her hammock.
Pearl is a great mama. She knew exactly what to do and all of her babies were well taken care of. She is such a good mama that she took in Sapphire's babies as well. This meant she had to feed 27 babies!
We decided to give her a helping hand using what we had on hand. Nipples are surprisingly hard to find. We were also able to find another nursing mama to take a few.
And the Babies Grew and matured.
Day 3 Ears are separating from their head
Day 4 Colour starts coming in
Day 5 They have fur
Day 6 They are mobile and strong enough to get the best place in the sleeping pile.
Day 7 They have REM dreams
