She's feeding all but three, the rest have rounded tummies and are active and noisy when the nest is disturbed. Two are active but still no ping pong ball belly and the other is weak (wriggling, but barely).
I don't know what to do, I've heard that hand feeding is bad for them and am really clueless on this one, feeling awful because I simply don't know what to do for the best. They are all warm, and she is content. She doesn't want me handling her, but is okay with me being there. If I try and handle her fur flies and I get growled at. Quick examination has shown she IS lactating, no obvious health problems and she doesn't seem to be in pain. I'm guessing that as a first time mum she;s just inexperienced and not hanging around long enough for them all to feed OR not producing enough milk.
