Answer
Hi Erin

You do need to go to the vet so he/she can determine if the problem is mites, parasites, or a fungal problem and give you the right medecine.

It is important that brothers and sisters do not breed as this can cause significant problems with the babies.

During a litter, a mother can have between 1-6 babies.
