Some may remember the problems I had when Mama-san, Clone, and Peter were all in the same colony. 
Everything was hunky dory until Mama kindled. Then SOMEONE went in and dug around in the nest, peed on the kits, etc. <sigh> Lost both litters (mama's and clone's.) I was fairly certain it was Clone (new momma) that caused the problem, and not Peter, but you just never know.
So....mama-san was rebred and is waiting patiently in her own room, while I left Peter in with Clone. Clone was given one last chance before going the way of all problem does. :roll:
Looks like she MIGHT get a reprieve. She kindled yesterday. Made a great nest in her nest tunnel. One kit dead, but looks like there are 7 squiggly little bodies in the nest. She's very protective of them, and so far she's taking good care of them.
I'm going to have to check then 2x a day at least, to make sure they're not being dragged around, or cold; and are being fed.
Peter is staying OUT of the nest tunnel this time. I'm hoping to be able to leave him in with her...Mama-san is right next door to them, and all three are quite bonded. Sure hope things go well this time.
