Day 13. The babies are probably between 14&16 days old. If all goes as planned half of their little lives with their Mama are over. I have not stated it on the blog, but we are planing on removing the babies from the nest at a full four weeks, 28 days. At that point they will be bottle fed and handled often to socialize them. If we wait any longer they will be climbing out of the nest and will take on Mama's feral attitudes. We want to socialize them and prepare them for good homes.
We now have a photo with one of the baby's eyes wide open. Since day one I have thought that the silver babies were larger than the dark ones but I also thought it may be the lighter color that made them look larger. Now I really think they are larger, especially when you compare the size of their heads.
