Robin! I am so PROUD of you!
Welcome to the dark side!
You will learn to respect your devil dogs very quickly... the low food consumption... the low water consuption... the cleaning of the tub 1/3 as often (at least).... The much easier style of breeding.... and of course, the stuborn feeder that will eat regularly with its Natural Favorite Food.
BUT, I must warn you. when they are babies, they are the cutest thing you will ever see. So much more then rats and mice, when they are babies, having just opened their eyes, they look EXACTLY like the adults, only they are little tiny babies, a fifth the size. (kind of like human babies who once they have hair, look like little tiny grown ups)
For the first time EVER, I have a TINY bit more experience then you, and have been VERY sucsessfull so far in breeding them. If you have any questions I will dare to offer tiny little pieces of advice.
Keep us up to date on every thought you have on them. I for one will read every last word!
Mike
