If the mom does end up nursing them all then make sure her diet is awesome, that's a lot of extra babies. You may find that the alien mom gets into it in a few days, maybe not, I would call the vet and see if they have suggestions about how to get her to bond with her babies better. It is a weird situation but thankfully you have another nursing mom that is into it right now! Keep us posted, this is interresting to me.  |
Well, I haven't put them to adoptive mom by themselves but they do crowd up under her. I just don't know if they are nursing or just getting warm and not being alone. Yes, I am giving adoptive mom much more food but I if real mom won't take them I will have to find something much healthier for her than just extra calories. I have thought about calling the vet and I will do that. I am just thinking they can't tell me anything I don't already know but there's always a chance they do. Thanks, Sylvia
