that I would be concerned about is the calcium and protein levels, seeing that with the last litter they pretty much took all or most of her calcium for their milk, she may not have had enough time to rebuild it. This is a very big concern of mine right now, and there were 3 months between her litters, I found with this last set, they seem a little smaller, and is taking longer to ????emotionally ???develope. I don't know maybe it is just me, but they don't seem to want to wander out of the pouch as the last litters had, they also didn't seem to have the strenghth in their legs as quickly as the others had. But they are healthy, and very active now, it just took these guys a little longer to get to the same points as the others. Since they crawled into the pouch we have watched them carefully, and given mom, more insects, etc, than usual, We are really concerned regarding her calcium levels being maintained..
