    Well you wouldn't catch me ever sending anything that's alive (other than plants) through the post. Thank goodness they found 'First Class' when they did!! :x

    8!! We have 8 babies!! Not bad for mums first litter. Eyes are open now, and today I removed all of their STINKY bedding and replaced it with fresh, but I did put a little bit of the old bedding back, and I haven't changed the sawdust, just scooped out what I could and sprinkled some new. They are drinking milk from the bottle now and eating solids. Mum has lost control, as she picks them up and plonks them in the nest one side, they are wiggling out of the nest the other side!! SO CUTE! Will take photos at the weekend as stepdaughter is over and she will be desperate to see them.
