Ashly had her pups this morning. There are
five. All with dark pigment over the eyes. This is her first
litter. She might be a nervous mom. She is frantically digging in
the corners. When she digs in the corner where the pups are and kicks
them up, scattering them, Black gathers them up and sits with them. I hope
she settles down.
Surely is so casual now, that I can either pet her
pups in the nest or pick them up and hold one in my hands without her being
alarmed. There are a few that crawl all over the place even with their
eyes not opened yet. I can barely see the whiskers they are so fine.
Their hair is coming in and it is shiny.
Of course I wash my hands with soap and water
before and after handling the gerbils and in between visiting each
family/cage.
