(mine are 3 weeks tomorrow and I'm just now starting to relax a little)

I do think she is a bit overzealous, and I'm hoping she will just calm down as time goes on.

They were born yesterday morning, and as I type this one is not even 24 hours old yet, so I have not weighed them again yet.

I am hoping she will just relax, lick them when she needs to, and not ignore them when they cry, which she has been doing. I totally expected her to jump in the box the minute she heard a peep, but I think I heard her tell me to deal with it! I took care of that by putting her in the box, and she stayed and took care of them.

I have read about calcium, and forgot to ask the vet about it, b/c she didn't mention it. What kind do you suggest?
