Decided to put all the mothers and mothers to be into one cage and the boys into another.
So I put "lil Sis" back in with "Big mama" and "Lil Grey Girl" and the three lil babies. Daddy went out with his son in the new cage.
First Daddy and son "Friski" had to sort out who was boss, got pretty serious for a while, lots of chattering and running around the cage.
Then Big Daddy claimed the hutch and poor lil Friski had to sleep under the ramp in the cold.
So today I made another little sleeping hutch for Friski, so he has his own territory and they share the grass. Friski stashed the piece of pumpkin under his hutch and wouldnt let Dad in. They each seem happy with their own little sleeping space, but they'd be warmer if they shared.
Friski was so happy when he was sharing with lil sis, but can't have any more babies so just has to be this way for a while.
The girls had to settle in with each other too but are all getting on fine now. Both females who have already given birth feed and care for the babies and they all work together to look after each other.
