No deaths yesterday, though one of my older girls looks pretty bad.
I did shift some babies around. Silly Sister "lost" 3 of hers in her constant rearranging of her nest, and I found them cold and without white milk tummies. They are now in with Stormy (their grandma), who took them in with no problems. This morning they all have milk in their tummies. I also took Wisteria's three foster kids out because she doesn't seem to have a lot of milk, so she just has her own five now.
Stormy is amazing me. With her first litter, she could barely be bothered to nurse them (especially after I moved her and her kids in with another mom). But this time around, she has 8 of her own who are the fattest little babies, plus the 5 mice (who aren't fat, but very lively), and now 3 more.

Date: 2002-05-17 11:22 am (UTC)I basically got bullied into taking on the mice, by my fiance and 2 little girls and 2 other women.
no excuses, I know. But I have them, so I have them.
