Re: 20 babies!
If you have another female that is nursing babies, I would foster a few off if possible. 20 is a lot of babies to nurse. Congrats!

Re: 20 babies!
Crap.. the only other nursing female I have going now, has about a dozen of her own, and they are larger than these.. but this mama seems to be doing pretty good. I am definately making sure she is hydrated 100% of the time (not that any of them are not, but she has a huge water bottle.)
I just got a rex hooded; my first! Weanling size now.

Re: 20 babies!
I have a super mom that took in 23 babies recently. I wouldn't worry about it at all. A good mom seems to be able to do ok either way.

Re: 20 babies!
Whoa; 23.. I wuold keep that mama around!
I plan on giving this female a longer rest between litters. This has to be draining for her.. but heck, in the natural world, she would already be re-bred.. though I know that captivity is different.
I will get a pic of the litter when I do cage-cleaning.

Re: 20 babies!
If you have some canned tuna or something else of that sort around, give her some. The extra protein will help her out. Cooked pasta is good too.

Re: 20 babies!
Or A/D food??? Or when Creamy needs the extra for the 16 she's nursing, I do the pnut butter (thinned down w/water, of course) or oil and bread for the calories and fat. 
The vet told me ENSURE nutrition drink is really good, mixed in the A/D food.

Re: 20 babies!
You can also mix pedialite with water 50/50 to help boost her electrolytes. I have been adding a vitamin supplement to my girls water that is nursing.. Good luck with that girl

Re: 20 babies!
I will give her some cooked pasta today; I will do the oil/bread thing now. Gotta get to the store for some tuna.
