I know exactly how cute they must be, it was only a few weeks ago the Peeplets were that small

Sadly we can't show pics/videos until the pups eyes open. And DO NOT do a full cage clean straight away! When they've all got their eyes open and Mum will allow you near, you can do a partial clean. Doing a full clean soon will really stress Mum though and sadly pups can still pass away (or be abandoned/culled) at their current age. I hope they keep doing well though

they are ok so far and Mum lets me near them i think but i haven't really try tho she was in my hands 2-3 times after they were born, i was placing the food and she started clawing on my hand so i took her and got her back right after that now i wonder how many babies Mum had as i only saw 2 out of nest and i dont wanna mess something up while trying to see or anything )) so i`ll just keep waiting for them to come out

Yeah do not try and get too near them yet... When their eyes open you can try and put your hand in the cage to let the pups start going on it - but be careful as Mum may object at first.

All hams eat their poo. They have two types - one needs to be eaten so they can get all the nutrients when stuff is re-digested.

Cute babies

Poo eating is normal & eating a poo from a healthy adult is probably a great way for a pup to get a good start on having the right gut bacteria they need for effecient digestion.

One of our guinea pigs when recovering from illness & surgery followed by antibiotics went around stealing poos from our other guinea. His gut bacteria were probably reduced by the antibiotics so he knew what he needed to eat to get them back to proper levels. These little furries are pretty clever
