That's hilarious, Jo!

I don't have any that try to hand me their kids, yet, but I do have the desperate moms that litterally *fly* out of the tank as soon as the lid's off. That's usually around the time the pups start crawling all over the place. I typically let the mom run around the kitchen table (i set it up with toys, tubes, etc, then i just watch, scratch them, give them treats and generally enjoy them...yeah, i'm a dork, hehe) for at least an hour, but as soon as I put her back in, she's trying to fly back out. The look on some of their faces are so depressing and send me on a guilt trip, but I ignore them. All of us here find it really amusing when those moms actually start jumping at the top in many failed attempts to get away from the, as you so affectionately call them, teat leeches and boobie chewers. (*giggles at those terms*) Of course, for fear of brain damage to the mom, they'll usually get their way and get some out time once the jumping starts. Funny thing is, there's usually not many kids left yet they're still desperate to get away. Poor girls.
