Hello. I haven't posted in a long time, but I need some help with a
situation where I'm probably going to need to foster a pup.
I had a litter of ONE born today....this is the first time this has happened
to me since I started breeding a year and a half ago.
Fortunately, I've had two other litters born within the past week.
One is a litter of 6 that is 7 days old today (however these are in a tank
with TWO males and a female in it).
The other is a litter of 8 that is 3 days old today.
The pup is at least 12 hours old now, and is HUGE compared to all other
newborns I've ever had....he or she looks like a 4-day old at least. It
also has a FULL tummy of milk.
Now, my question is.....knowing that the chances are slim that a litter of
one will survive, should I foster it even though it's doing fine right now?
Or should I foster some pups to this mom to add to the one?
Or which litter should I foster it to....will it be okay in a tank with two
males in it? The other litter is already so big....
Any help I can get with this is greatly appreciated!
