p.s. I do not remember if the mom's weight has been posted but if she is under 6 pounds, I would suggest you start supplementing her with 200-400mgm of elemental calcium a day. Watch her closely for signs of eclampsia. Having 3 large ones like these is as bad as several smaller ones. They can drain the mom of milk and calcium. I trust you have read up on eclampsia, its onset, symptoms and the necessity of immediate vet treatment.
Good Luck with the little beasties..
