RossM 7,979 Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 So my jills have lived together since they were kits themselves and being a bit tight on cage space I took the chance and left them to birth together too, the first had 2 kits a week ago, and the other had 3 over the course of Thursday night through Friday morning, they are all in together still but my concern is, and it’s perhaps due to the size difference with being 4 days of a difference is perhaps the younger 3 aren’t getting fed as much? I’ve attached a photo taken this morning. do the 3 day olds lols scrawny and under fed? Advice much appreciated thanks. Quote Link to post
socks 32,253 Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 Between the two jills they will be fed plenty ... if your worried take out on of the jills and the small kits a few times a day and put them in a carry box so they can feed in peace ...... 1 Quote Link to post
gaza 504 Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 I had 2 litters in together recently and was fine. Same, a few days apart, could tell early on but all seemed to feed well and soon couldn’t tell. Quote Link to post
gnipper 5,945 Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 They should be ok with 2 Jill's worth of teats to latch onto but I would say there was a bit of cannibalism went on at both births to be 2 litters so small. 2 Quote Link to post
