so my breeding colony, which consists of 1 male, 5 females, has finally started popping out babies. these may be silly questions, but i'd like to know nonetheless.

cleaning the cages now that there are millions of babies. if i take all the parents out, and then move the babies so i don't get my fingers hamburgered by angry moms, do i have to keep the babies in their little piles? as for right now i think 1 or 2 moms have given birth in the same nest. if i just put all the babies in one big pile will they all chip in and nurse each other's babies? or do i have to worry about whose babies are whose, LOL!

also, can a pregnant ASF that hasn't given birth still nurse? because last night one of the females, who is absolutely HUGE appeared to be nursing, but i couldn't tell and wasn't about to go digging. but she is still monstrously pregnant. just wondering if they start producing milk before the birth or not.

i think that's it, if i think of anything else i'll post in this thread.
