We currently have two females with babies in pouch. Myra is on her fourth litter and has huge healthy babies. She's an old pro at this and I'm expecting to see her babies in about a month.
Gizmo is Myra's daughter from her first litter showed bulges at about the same time as Myra but Gizmo's babies are smaller, significantly smaller.
Gizmo is no longer quatered with her family but now shares a cage with Rusty. She does not get the amount of exercise she used to but gets some everyday, outside of the cage with the livingroom to play in.
She and Rusty are getting more than enough to eat because there is always something in bowl the next morning. I have also been giving her a couple of mealworms a night above the protein in her food dish.
Allowing for two weeks margin for OOP times how long after Myras come out should I wait before I take Giz to a vet to have her babies looked at?
I know I sound paranoid but they are my babies, everyone of them.
Thanks,
