Well, good news! The second mom had her pups last night...and they're still alive! I walked into the room to check on them and immediately heard an unfamiliar "peeping" sound...hurray! I could see a couple of them through the top of the hide...so cute! Mom is doing well and nursing away...I'm wondering if she is just a bit older then the 1st mom.

On a sidenote, I noticed that the 2nd mom's pups are a little larger than the 1st mom's...so I'm wondering if her pups were premature or even already deceased when they were born?

Anyway, very excited! Now I just have to get over the hurdle of getting attached to this first group...they do have a purpose!
