Video Bonus: Kiwi Collects

Kiwi is just one or two days away from having a litter of her own. It will be the first litter for her and for Rumble. So far she shows promise as a mother. She has been hard at work all evening collecting paper shreds for her nest box. Notice how she uses any surface to continue shoving paper in her mouth rather than making two trips to the box.

Not quite a nest

We think Vanna is pregnant, but it is hard to tell. Today would be her kindling day. We have been so anxious for even a sign of delivery. Just in case she wanted extra nesting material, I shredded a shopper paper, placed it in a bowl, and gave it to her. About 10 minutes later I found her just like this.
