Smile Nelly's and Teddy's litter ♡♡♡

This morning i heard some low squeaking sounds from Nelly's house and while she was out to drink some water I peeked into the nest and saw a good hand full of tiny dark pink whiggeling creatures. I could spot about ten babies but as I can't touch the nest i may be slightly off with the count.

Nelly seems to be doing a good job as a new mom. She's been stocking up on food over the past couple of days and has created a nice warm nest inside her house.

Now comes the most difficult part... the waiting and resisting the urge to touch the little worms.

Yes it is!!
Shes been inside her house sitting on her pups like a hen. I haven't seen her since she came out this one time. I hope the little ones are well and thriving. I wish it was 13 days later ♡♡♡

I'm sorry. 13 does sound like a lot - maybe she couldn't manage them all, or she sensed some had genetic defects. Also looking forward to seeing the healthy 4.

Are you providing a good water source for the pups? At 15 days old they most likely didn't get culled but consumed after death as Mother knows dead bodies can cause all live pups illness. The other possibility is they are still all there but digging in the substrate unseen.
Offer some small bits of cucumber and see if the remaining pups will eat it as a good water source.
