So, did no one notice the new babies in the last photo?
The second female had a small litter of 3 babies yesterday and I didn't realise until after I'd cleaned the tank out. I opened the nest box to check on last weeks babies and there were the three new ones, with the second Momma suckling all 11, ahhhh!
I know Waldo said that they become jumping beans at about a week and a half old, but she didn't say how high they jump! It's about 3 inches off the ground when they get going, so I think I've got my work cut out
Nanci, these guys don't seem to make nests at all, at the moment they are using paper towel sheets to form a barricade at the door to the nest box, to stop the babies getting out, because they are so mobile now, but have not used the bedding I put in the box, they even kick it out if I put more in
Thanks for the nice comments everyone
