I've been keeping an eye on her, but couldn't find if the was going to have kits...I saw her mating one night.

I see at least one kit! Looks like a little grub worm :love2:
Edit: She just got up and moved. There are three tiny wees crawling on her tail now.

Looks like they are starting to eat solid food. Sigh, they grow up so fast.

Well, the babies have discovered the door, poor mom has been dragging them back in for over an hour, her tribulations are just beginning LOL. They are just as determined to go out as she is to get them back in. She finally got them all in and offered nursing to distract them, nope, they were heading out regardless.......what a hoot they are to watch.

They were eating whole prey tonight, I never saw any of the other litters given this before. They really seemed to enjoy it.

Yep the kits are sound asleep and mom is just chewing away on whatever animal they gave her.
