Nothing has happened since so I'm convinced now she has had them and disposed of them herself
The other mum and kits are fine.......babies are scrummy
What I thought was a 3rd kitten though, I think it was a toy mouse as I only got a glimpse and I've not see a 3rd since, when I looked, the toy is white so easily done......lol
Both mums get on really well, so I've decided to put them together as the cage is plenty big enough. The kittens have got the best of both worlds as they are going between the two mums, and are thriving really well and both mums seem very content with this arrangement
I've known them in the wild to share their babies and Sean thought it was a good idea to stop the other mum pining. I've decided when the kittens are ready to go, the mums can be rehomed together, possibly at the stables. The one with the babies would have to be away from the scrapyard for at least another 8 weeks, so it's pretty much going to be a disaster to return her. If I get the other one spayed and return her, then that leaves the mum with the kittens on her own, which isn't a bad thing but then she would have to be rehomed on her own or with one of mine.
I haven't named them yet
but will get round to it. I will try and take some piccies later, I've taken some with my phone but they are pretty crap so I'll have to take some more.
