Question
i found 6 babys about 3 weeks old,and have handled all,but since have been told that i should not touch them.since this i have found 4 dead???is this the mum that has killed them?can i feed them a special milk myself?many thanks

Answer
Hiya Chaya!

It's quite possible that mum killed them or that they weren't well enough to survive as adults.

The best thing for you to do is to leave them well alone until they are five or six weeks old.

I must warn you that there is a good chance that the remaining ones won't survive as well.

Hopefully this helps you, let me know how you get on
