[Nickv0195]

Tommorow will be 10 days since the kits where born, so it will be time for there first dust bath do i put the kits in with the mom , or do i let them do it by themselves , im nervous Tilly (the mom) will hurt the baby during the dust bath, will the babies know what to do in the dust bath when they first get in it ?

The babies typically aren't going to start rolling right away. Mine took at least a few weeks to catch on.

I just let them all bathe at the same time. It's like a multi-agitator washing machine in there. The babies roll all over mom, mom rolls over babies...I've never had any get smooshed.

The babies learn what to do by watching mama.
