Hehe, poor wee lumpster!!!

I've done this before, however, it was two syrians i didnt know we had!

It was Bingo's babies (BVH has the remaining one), I knew we mated Bingo but she never showed signs of being pregnant, didnt get big, came back into season but as we found we had to move house, we didnt try to remate her (luckily!) but with all the crazy mess moving house with so many animals, Bingo went for 10 days before being cleaned out and i discovered the hard way she had created a double nest like rats do. She has a top nest for herself and a secret nest sealed underneath with her two babies (explains why she never got big!) and they were 10 - 12 days old when i saw them as i tipped them into the bin bag!! No wonder poor Bingo didnt want to come out her cage! She was very happy to get them back and did a good job of raising them.
