  • Your scent has marked the babies, odds are she isn't going to have anything to do with them now. Sorry.
  • Try placing all the kits in one warm nest in a nest box and have no other hay or straw around for her to change the nesting. A box helps keep all the kits together, which they need to keep themselves warm. How many kits are there? What breed are they? Are they all shaped the same, or are some peanuts or runts? Don't worry about touching them as you need to to care for them. Check in the mornings to see if their tummies are full or if they are wrinkled. If they are full, that means she has fed them.
  • try not to touch her babies if you don't touch her first. also put some of her hair on the babies, you might have to pull some from her. the easiest place to pull hair is under her neck area.
