Cleaning
My robos are now 14 days old with their eyes open and I'm DYING to clean out the cage as it stinks!! Can I do it yet or do I need to wait a little longer? When can I handle the pups?
Thanks people!x

Re: Cleaning
You can clean them out and start handling them now - but they will be like greased lightening!!

Oh my goodness, they are so cute!! I was in a really bad mood as I couldn't make Todmorten today but these have really cheered me up! Jaffa (mum) was up so I took advantage and got the little family out. What is the best way to get the pups used to being handled? At the minute I'm just letting them toddle around my hand for a few minutes as it's their first human encounter!

Re: Cleaning
Also, would it be ok to move them all into a more suitable cage yet or is it too soon and would stress mum out too much? Thanks!

Re: Cleaning
Little and often is the best way to get them used to being handled.
I would wait another week at least before changing cage if you can, just incase it upsets mum and you need to seperate her from the babies.
