Hi I think the female will do everything that is required even the weaning I do not believe you need to pull the baby also is the male with her or was she pregnant when you got her I know that the daddy can help but if he isn't then you will have to help by taking the baby out for 2-5 minutes a day and then increase the time when mommy feels comforable also with her diet you need to feed her leadbeaters I am sure someone will give you bourbons site addy. But I am sure there is someone who will help you even better. I don't breed but I have read the posts regarding breeding. I hope this helps some.
