Thanks for the advice everyone... I wasn't too surprised there were babies we have a male and 2 females... I'm using shredded kitchen paper as of yesterday... I'd run out of fluff but I kept some of the old fluff when I realized there were babies in it... yes they're dwarves
I think we may have lost a pinkie... I noticed it's foot was missing yesterday.
And since I put everything back together I can't really see who's in there now...
We definitely have one of the pinkie left. I went in to check on them last night before bed and watched for ten mins while Luigi no 2 (
girl replacement Mario's brother - I know you all probably think I'm a right idiot getting a girl but Luigi no1 passed unexpectedly a couple of months ago and after searching all the pet shops in town she was the only look alike, please don't eat me ) and Peach (
I think you could hazard a guess as to what our son is into - Peach is Luigi no 2's sister... Mario was 6months old when we got them and twice their size at least... I just wanted to make sure Luigi no 2 had back up... sorry for all the tangents) anyway Luigi and Peach, I watched them for ten mins last night as they basically fought over a pinkie.
Luigi decided that she wanted her own nest and brought the pinkie there. She was subsequently followed by Peach who then pupnapped the pinkie and brought it back to the original nest. Luigi then followed suit and restole the pup and brought it to the new nest... Peach took it back... Luigi took it again... this was going on before I came in and I watched for 5 or ten mins. It was a little funny but I decided I had to intervene.
I came to the conclusion that as Luigi wasn't moving the furry pups and just a pink one that it was her pup but either Peach didn't know the pinkie wasn't hers or she just didn't see eye to eye with Luigi about moving it... anyway we have two cages with a pipe connecting them... as Peach already has 4 furries to attend to I let Luigi keep her pinkie herself and separated the cages. Otherwise that pup was gonna get hurt in all the commotion of the game takeybacksies. I did a king Solomon on it essentially.
Mario(dad to all pups) is with Luigi - he's a paws off kinda dad tho and is in his own nest downstairs in the cage. Peach has an older pup who's only a few weeks old - 6 or 7 (it's going to live with my cousin shortly - I don't want any cross eyed, webbed footed offspring) that pup is in with Peach.. he's a great help with his new siblings he keeps them cosy while Peach is out galavanting. Once I figure out how... I'll post pics, introduce ye to everyone.
