Babies

[Crunch]

Question. My mixed mini Rex had 7 babies yesterday (2d litter), my NZ had 7 babies last night (1st litter) and my Flemish Giant had 5 babies today (1st litter). The FG started building her nest 4 days ago, but today she pulled enough fur to fill a pillow.

Would it make sense to move some of the Mini Rex babies to the Flemish Giant to ensure they all get to feed.

I am worried the Mini Rex may not be able to support her babies as well as if she only had 5 to nurse.

Will the Mini Rex babies be okay if I move 2 to the FG mom or would the FG babies push them out of the way since they are about half their size?

Thanks.

If they are half the size, I think they will just be shoved away. That happens with mine, small ones get shoved away real fast.
But you should watch and see if the other does can even feed their kits first before giving them more.

I have heard that some MR does produce a LOT of milk, so I wouldn't worry just yet. Keep an eye on them and see if they all get nice round tummies after being fed.
