New Kit
My female Luna had a litter 31 days ago and I have just been to feed them all and found a nest of newborns. She must have fell pregnant in the 2 hour window that she had the babies and wasn't separated from my Male Echo. I need advice. Do I leave them all together? Will the bigger babies harm the little ones? Can she feed all of them?

How many were there in the first litter. If say only 2 then you could keep them together with the new ones, but it might be better to separate the older ones so Mum can concentrate on the new ones. The older ones will be ok, not as good as if they were with Mum. I would use your gut instinct as you are there with them.
