Postby gust0640 » Fri Sep 13, 2013 4:10 pm

Hi, guys ;) i was just wondering about Irian Jaya-babie´s size :noknow: I could emagine, that if the mom only gets 5 babies, those babies must be larger than if she had got 20. Lets say she gets a large liter of 20 bts. How big would the babies be?? Thanks for the help ;)

My babies have generally been around 15g when born. I had one runt born at 7g, a large litter of babies born at about 12-13g each, and one litter where the babies were around 20g to start. Basically, they are very tiny and it's scary to pick them up because they seem so fragile compared to the adults.

Being tiny they are also a pain to feed -.-' Their mouths are tiny, so food has to be tiny. Basically you have to turn food into paste so they can chow down.
