Hey Guys!
So my pregnant ASF that I have been bombarding the forum with questions about finally dropped the pinky bomb and I have a whole slew of questions for you guys.
1. I am assuming she started birthing within the last couple of hours.. she is still pretty fat though so I'm not sure if she has more to pop out or not so I haven't tried touching them.. How long should I wait before I get in there and change up the bedding/ get rid of any dead babies? I don't want to move them too early and mom and dad are being very protective..
2. How long before the babies are strong enough to be handled for moving/ changing the substrate. The bedding hasn't been changed in a few days, so I want to get it as clean in there as possible now.
3.. Now that mom is going to be nursing is there anything that I should be including with her food.. are there any special dietary needs for nursing Natal Rats?
Is there anything else you guys can suggest to help me, help them grow and healthy LOL
I'll post pictures in the morning.
Cheers!
Chris.
