We Got Babies!!

We woke up this morning to find momma climbing on her 10 healthy looking little babies. All 10 have nice looking milk bands and are all pretty "active" as much as they can be. They are pretty loud too. lol. Thanks for the advice from all of you who helped. Our first live litter. So exciting.


Here's what she looked like preggers (last night) She actually looked bigger than this it's not the best angled picture:



And she was busy nesting last night. Eventually all of the bedding on the left side of the tank was pushed over to the right. lol

Thank you, and thanks for the advice. I guess I was a little worried for nothing, she seems to be a good mother and I plan on keeping 2-3 of her female babies for future breeding. How soon can you tell the sex of the little ones?
