Question
What do I nee to do to help the mother. She gave birth about an hour ago. Do I leave her alone and the baby or move the baby?

Answer
You can handle the baby. Was she pregnant when you got her?

Make sure they are getting a good diet. http://www.guinealynx.info/diet.html

Weigh them both daily. You need to remove the baby at 3 weeks if it is a boy or he will impregnate mom.
