We've had two litters by two different moms and they are completely different. I'm trying to figure out which is the more "normal" litter.
1. Lacey had 9 pups and we rarely saw them for the first week. They were huddle together to keep warm all the time. One little guy would wander out a few steps and then quickly head back in. In fact in took almost two weeks before they were all up and really exploring their surroundings with vigor.
2. Wanda had 9 pups as well but 3 were still born. (we found a third a couple days later).
However, her pups were much larger in size and by the second day were all over the cage. The haven't stayed in the nest at all but continually move around the cage and find a new place to sleep every few hours. When not feeding they are playing and exploring always.
So, was Lacey's litter premature or was Wanda late?
