Default More Pygmy Hedgehogs Update

Although I lost my first litter, one to being eaten, the other to abandonment and then died on day 4 of the hand rearing, I am lucky in that another female now has 3 healthy babies. I managed a peek in the nest to check for any bodies that needed to be removed yesterday after luring mom out with some mealworms on the other side of the enclosure, and was pleasantly suprised to find 3 rather fat and healthy hoglets. It was her first litter also, but she seems a rather better mom! Based on the size and look of them I'm estimating 5-7 days old.

If I can catch her out of the nest today I will try and get a quick photo, but can't remove her myself as she's in an absolutely foul mood and I don't want to stress her anymore.

But here's fingers crossed for the new litter. Possibly the hardest thing I've ever bred so far, give me snakes to mammals any day

All 3 still with us now and 7-10 days now so their eyes should be opening, I hope I get a good look at them soon!
