Today the pups are two weeks old. I am not making any picks until they are at least three weeks due to the different colors that are in this litter.
If you have been following posts in the Love of Rats Rattery group on Facebook and along with updates on the litter page you will already know that I have been having a lot of trouble with this litter. Katniss is feeding all of the pups some too the point where they look like they can explode. I have been taking out the little hoglets and letting the smaller 6 feed every so often. Katniss is not keeping the babies clean as I'd like and they are not hydrated well. I am supplementing food twice a day to try to increase their chances. I have also been cleaning the babies up on a daily basis and helping them use the restroom. This would not be such a difficult job if they were already nibbling on solid foods but I feel as tho if I can make it until then they have a good chance.
I have posted pictures on the website, they are not as good as I'd like since they need another bath again already -_- I also have not labeled anything other than their names due to not knowing all of their colors just yet. I will update them as I go.
Thanks for keeping up with us at Love of Rats Rattery :)
