Definately make sure your sprinkling the foods with the supplements and calcium. Be sure to have clean fresh water ALL the time, especially with 2 or more babies. From bitter harsh experience I have learned the babies will take all she got, so make sure there is plenty. Sadie

: Just make sure she's not in any drafts. If you think she might
: be cold put a wash cloth in the pouch/nest box. Just keep her

: she had plenty of water/juice. And of course make sure she
