Well, I had finally accepted that she was NOT pregnant, after like a week past her due date(s). I know it can vary. This is her first litter so I guess she took her sweet time, lol. Anyways, this is what we discovered this morning!

Thanks! I totally can't wait till they grow enough for me to hold them. Since this is Lola's first litter I don't want to take any chances and her eat them, EEK. I once had a rat and it did that. I was so upset.

CUTENESS! This being her first litter, is she feeding them? And taking care of them? If so, you have a keeper!!

Ok, so I got around to taking a closer look at the kits. There are 5. I thought I may have seen 6 when I first took pics after Lola kindled but I guess I was dreaming, lol. Anyways, after contemplating about it I decided to go ahead take a couple out for pics and get opinions. One was hyper-active like it was starving and wanting to eat. It's the darker one....

They are beautiful!! They do look a tad scrawny in that last pic. Hopefully some of the experts will have some advice. I'm a noob & haven't successfully saved any babies that weren't nursing yet, but I do remember this last litter that is doing well having a fatter belly than that.
