2 new babies for mom to ignore?

It has been my experience that babies are up and running immediately after birth. They are usually following mom around. They should be nursing but will also start eating the same food as mom within a day.

You should get a weight on them and mom now and check it daily. Check at the same time of day. Babies might loose a little weight to start out but should start gaining steadily there after.

If they are only a few hours old, generally yes but if mom is young and inexperienced she may not know what to do.

Are you feeding alfalfa pellets or alfalfa hay?

Remember you need to remove any boy babies at 21 days, if either is male.

Ha ha. I'm pretty sure she just had them when we found the babies because they were still wet and not really moving. She had them in their little hide out house thing. She was running around the cage doing her own thing for a while. I took the house out and she found them - almost like she forgot she had them. Out of sight out of mind?

I'm pretty sure the cuter one is a boy and the other is a girl. We have a smaller cage for the boy to go into in 3 weeks. But we're most likely not going to keep either.

Yes, I have alfalfa. I got it when mom was pregnant.

We're down to one baby now.

My eight year old decided to make a video with one of the babies and killed it (even though I told them to stay away and not even go in the room where they were). I found their house turned upside down and their water bottle moved so high none of the babies would be able to reach it. The video showed Siobhan putting the baby in the food bowl, then burying it and finding it - moving the baby one handed. I think she probably squeezed her too hard and maybe broke her back or something. When I found the baby she was just lying there - able to move her upper body but her back legs didn't move. Within about five minutes, she was dead. I am so upset right now. My other daughters are devastated.

The other baby seems to be doing very well, running all around the cage. Mom seems a little upset.

Gosh that terrible. So sad.
I fostered /rescued a mom and her 1 day old pups 7 weeks ago and the mom did the same thing. Don't worry, she will nurse them and the pups will start to eat the veggies and hay. Just remember to sex the pups after 21 days. Remove any males at that time.
