My mamas do not mind being put in during the day, for short periods, but they (one especialluy) do not want to be penned in with them at night. So I leave a dish of food, (baby rice cereal, goats milk and canned puppy food) in the pen at night. The younger litter eats theirs all gone, but the older litter does not. I'm thinking one mama has more milk than the other.
They are all nice and fat so not worrying.
