Hi all,
As I have been suspecting for the past few days, Samantha, our oldest female
was pregnant.  I just found a nest of 5 babies in the bottom of the tank.
I've never done this before, but am concerned because Mom has the babies at
the very bottom corner of the tank in an almost completely covered nest
(except for an entrance hole.)  I can see them from the outside, and I'm
afraid that they will get lost in the bedding (carefresh)  Sometimes mom
digs and the babies end up on the glass tank floor.  Is this ok?  Is there
something I should do?  There are 3 other females from Sam's last litter in
the tank, and they all take turns going into the nest....Sam is fine with
this so far.  I am excited, but concerned.  Any suggestions would be
appreciated.

BTW, we removed the dad (our only male) to his own tank yesterday.  Will
give him a male pup when they are ready to move.  He looks lonely already!

I'll probably have more questions later, but now I want to go watch them!
Thanks so much!
Jean
