Steel is being such a good mama! Last night I could tell the babies were messing around in the nest because I could see the hay moving. Evidently Steel saw the hay too. She watched it a minute and it continued to move. She went over to the nest box and put her front two paws in and pushed on the moving hay. It reminded me of when you would pat a baby to get them to settle down and go back to sleep. She stopped and watched the hay. It moved again, so she patted again. After the second pat, all was quiet in the nest box.
The same thing was going on again tonight. One baby was actually outside of the little hole Steel dug in the nest box. She saw the baby out and quickly pushed it back down into the hole. The baby settled right down with the others and went to sleep. I hope all our mamas turn out to be as good a mother as Steel is! I can't wait to breed her again.
