You still have to be careful though as she does not appreciate any disturbance. We take Mum out and put her in a secure box with some food to keep her busy. We then use a teaspoon to open up the nest and sprinkle the babies with a food mix. We also put in some finely chopped cucumber for moisture. This helps the babies to grow up big and strong.
Some people feed the babies morning and night.
We then cover up the nest again, leaving it as far as possible as Mum left it. When putting Mum back, the person who fed the babies handles her first so that she recognises the smell in her cage. Some extra food in her cage can also help to distract her. If she dives in the nest and you can hear squeaking do not worry. The babies are born tiny, blind, without fur and with underdeveloped eyes.
