Hi
My foster babies are getting so big :shock: (pics later) and i have started to think about when they will be separated from mum, this has raised a few questions that i hope people can help with....
They are 5 weeks 4 days today. Looking at 10 wks to separate.
When can they be accurately sexed? A friend has had a look and thinks 3 girls and one boy.
If this is the case when they are separated I don't want the boy on his own, I have a foster boy in who i was thinking of bonding with my three over Christmas but would it be better for them if i let the baby boy in with the foster? I have had issues with hormonal boys attacking their partner... (foster boy is neutered, very docile and lives nest door to mum & babies in my conservatory so 'knows' them through crates & runs)
Will mum miss the babies when they go?
When does mum stop feeding babies, she looked like she was offering last night but they weren't interested?
When will she stop producing milk?
When can mum be spayed & vaccinated? Assume after feeding and milk stopped?
Thanks in advance for help
