I have no idea i can honestly say i've never looked!!!

Make sure you're feeding mum plenty of pellets and veg (her usual amount of veg so she doesn't get diarhea) It might be an idea to talk to your vet about a calcium suppliment for her as does bones can suffer when they feed as they lose all the calcium through feeding.

I'm sure she'll cope, worst comes to the worst find a breeder forum and ask for a foster mum, they're geenrally really helpful if they can help.

Well in the wild they would be having grass and leaves as soon as they come out of the nest at about 3-5 weeks old so the way i figured it there was no way to keep mum away from the babys while she was having veggies and no way of stopping the babes from munching away!

OMG Eve :shock: , mother should be ok as at least she will be getting alright things to eat with you so that should help keep her strength up.

I should have some space in a bout 4 to 5 wks time so if you need any help in rehoming please don't hesitate to shout.

Good luck and at least they have you thank god to look after them all

I would agree with giving the babies veg too. When I had the litters here last year I gave them plenty of veg and the babies just started eating with mum. The babies all turned out very healthy. As long as they are brought up on it there shouldnt be a problem.
If you want to give her a calcium suplement there is one made for small animals by sunseed. I will see if I can find it online for you.

Yes, shouldnt be a problem. I would start with fresh grass first and gradually build up the veg :thumb:

If there eating Solids Eve i would say so yes, they wil probably help themselves whilst mum is eating anyway XX
