Eyes open and moving, then move the nest intact or as much
of the nest bedding as you can with the babies, and sprinkle
old bedding over the new so the smell is the same....transfer
all the old toys to the new tank with them. Three to four weeks,
as the pups are into being weaned, yet before the mother
produces the next litter, has been a good time for me if I have
to do such things.
