yes cute little babies, cuddled up together, seeing them grow from pinkies to mini mum's but having a mother cull a litter, having to hand rear, loosing the mum of my second litter, its definatly not all cute pups and cute photos
as vectis said, all that infomation IS needed
i know not all countrys have pedigree's, but ensuring they come from different lines, that the parents do not have any health problems, even in the back history.
I have one syrian that even with his pedigree isnt the colour he appears, but it wasnt a problem, but had i bred him to a patterned unknowingly there is a risk.
I wish you the best of luck with the litters, lots of plain cooked chicken or turky, chicken babyfood that is garlic/onion/leek free, tofu, egg, porridge, cat biscuits (onion free) will help, but remember you can not clean the cage untill the babies eyes are open, as it can disturb mum and the nest of babies.
if there are any questions, worries over mum and babies, colour identification, sexing the pups, there are many breeders on here, most with more experience then me, we can give what advice we can to help x
