Erm......is Rugby near Leicester? : :
They weren't all ready last Tuesday Pete, four of the babies were only 22 days old when Denny collected them on Sunday.
I don't think that you should risk changing your nest bowl - they are too young to make changes like that and the parents might abandon them, just get something under them.
Amazing! I had no idea killer whales were anywhere near us!
I already have a shark phobia since watching Jaws and never go in the sea,this has reinforced it!! ;D ;D
The dog bowl will be fine, it'll be very slippy for them but, as long as there is plenty under the babies that they can grip on, they will do OK.. If the shavings don't stay under them, you can try a bit of towel or carpet or anything like that.
Congratulations new Mom! ;) First babies are soo exciting and you will be amazed at how quickly they grow and how much the parents eat and how much poop two little babies produce! Lots of food and minerals down for the parents - I leave my food down 24/7 and top it up three times a day. You are going to be busy, busy, busy.
What is the nest in? It looks like a plastic bowl? You need to get a lot more shavings under those babies or they will get splay legs. :-/
