Unexpected surprise

[Derwolf82g]

So. They opened thier eyes fully yesterday. Now they are every where.. also.. seems I'm having issues with fighting. Unless they are playing? Any advice? Didn't think I would have fighting at 2 weeks. I have been able to start holding them though mommy tried to gently chase me off once. Gave her a treat and she left me alone.

They will be play fighting at this age. This is part of their learning process. Eventually they may start to squabble and then you will be abel to tell the difference

Ok. Thanks. I was slightly worried but didn't think it was a good idea to separate them yet, as they are only 2 weeks. They are though, eating mostly soft foods. One or two try to nurse once in a while but mommy usually walks off.

Yes they tussle and play fight at this age especially over food. They eat absolutely tons at this age so be very generous with the hamster mix which should always have a heap available plus maybe two platters (Pringles lid sized ) of protein rich foods, soft foods and veggies a day - we feed baby food, porridge, boiled or scrambled egg, tofu, plain cooked chicken, cooked pasta or rice, cabbage, parsley, sweetcorn, broccoli, cauliflower, cucumber, carrot, and other safe veg but not all at once. Chop in to small cubes and remove any left after a few hours (unlikely to happen) Clean the potty area twice a day as they will be peeing small pee ponds by then!

Question. Do I feed them the whole boiled eggs or just the yoke?

Feed the whole egg

Use the whole egg but the white part is actually the best part for them as it is full of protein.
