Thankyou! I can't wait to see what they'll look like later today after she cleans and dries them a little more.

No, just 2 pups. I actually got to see the dark one be born! She was already cleaning the white one. They seem to be doing great. I gave Fuzzle a leaf of lettuce to munch so I could take that shot of just them, otherwise, she's stayed pretty close.

They're starting to run around a little. I'll post more pics later. Fuzzle is spotting a little blood. Should I be worried? Also, should I lower the water bottle yet so they can try it?

Aw! Cute, cute, cute!
It's normal for the mum to spot a bit, don't worry. It shouldn't be huge amounts, but it's totally natural.
As for the water bottle, do you have a second one you could put on low for that babies? That way Fuzzles won't have to reach down to drink.

Well, we had to do a little rearranging. The little torti got spooked, climbed the fleece and put just it's head right through the spaces. So Kahlua got the C&C cage and they got a 40 g critter keeper tank I had on hand. Not ideal, but safe! As promised, new pics. I think this one is a girl. I think this one is male. She's an AWESOME mommy!

They are gorgeous. Looks like the sow is doing a lovely job. Make sure her and pups have plenty of food, veg and hay.

Thanks everyone. They're so funny to watch run around, they're a little clumsy. In the tube, under the log, over Mom, under Mom, under the log. I've held them each a couple times and they're not too bad about it.

Handle them little and often. The sooner they get used to it the better they will be. I like to handle mine 3-4 times a day with mum close by so they dont freak out.
They are gorgeous!

We've been picking them up, holding, letting them just sit in our lap a couple times a day at least. They have good appetites and have tried everything Fuzzle eats, lettuce, cucumber, cilantro, carrot, broccoli (just a little bit), and of course hay and pellets. They're off to a great start.
