I hardly slept at all last night, I was so worried. I've put Bruce and Sylvester in opposite corners of my bedroom as I was a bit worried that if their cages were next to each other, the different scents or baby squeaks might upset the other nest. Am I being totally paranoid now??
It was a nightmare trying to get ready for work this morning without disturbing anyone. I've even stopped wearing perfume/using body lotion in case the scent confuses them - and so they definitely know its me when I replenish their food and water.
I've no idea how many babies Sylvester's had. I convinced myself last night that they were probably dead but I laid on the floor next to her cage this morning and I could hear some tiny squeaks. Thank God!!! They're in a Savic Rody so I doubt I'll see much of this litter for quite some time.
As for Bruce, two of the babies came out of the nest briefly last night just as I got into bed. One of them did a pretty good job on managing some rice pudding! I don't think their eyes are open yet buy I always have the dimmer light on because of them so it was too dark to tell.
I've now convinced myself that there are only two babies since its a good 6 days since I've seen more than 2.
This is turning me into a paranoid freak!
