Know it's been a bit, had a lot of stuff to do!
Three are still with us, one's almost 200g, she's the last girl, of the boys one's 115g and the little tan one (only tan of the litter) is 70g, however he's the most acrobatic and mischevious of the three!
Their droppings are all...well I guess you could say normal? Look exactly the same as normal, been feeding mommy and the babies critical care mixed with kittens milk and they absolutly love the stuff. Mommy doesn't get treats often, maybe a dried kiwi from time to time, but she hardly gets to eat it because the biggest of the babies steals it from her!
I feel the passing of the two babies was a blessing in disguise, the other three have taken off in progress and have become much much more active. They got big enough to graduate into the big cage with mommy and her "sister" (been together since birth but not of the same litter
) the smallest one we have wasnt gaining weight and was staying at 40g for about 4 days, we thought he'd pass too but after our losses he sprung back and gained 8g in two days.
The babies love to play on the wheel and jump around the branches we have spread around the cage so they can get from the first to the second level (6 foot tall cage with three levels, the second level is split in half with plexi glass so the babies can see daddy, the boys will be moving in with daddy when they get bigger)
Overall the babies are doing great, they're eating hay, pellets and whatever else they can get their hands on! They learned how to take a dusy bath from mommy, it took them a few times to figure out what the dust was but they couldn't get enough of it when they figured it out!
I just hope they all make it now, thank you for your kind words and sorry I didn't update anyone sooner, I forgot completly because I had a lot on my mind.
Thanks again
John
