Question
Hi I think I have a pregnant momma but i dont know anything about this I bought them not knowing there sexes.  What should I DO?

Answer
First you should seperate them. The female need stuff to build a nest. You can use toilet paper for this. You will need to keep her as stress free as you can, keep her with plenty of food and water. This is about all you need to do. Don't handle the babies untill they are 2 or 3 weeks old. They should be weaned by 4 weeks.
Good Luck
