Article: Jills are typically pregnant for about 42 days. When your jill gives birth, give her time alone with her babies ('kits') for at least a week. Jills may eat their kits when feeling scared or threatenedyou definitely don't want your jill to do this! You will need to feed her during this private time. Being as stealthy as you can, slip food and water in her cage when she is distracted. Jills can develop mastitis (mammary gland inflammation) and some of the kits may die after birth, so you should take a quick look at the mom and her babies when you put the food and water in the cage. Call your veterinarian if the jill doesn't look well, or if you see dead kits that should be removed. Now that your jill is nursing, she will need just as much energy as when she was about to give birth. Continue to feed her two to three times her normal intake. Be mindful that if she has a large litter (more than 10 kits), she will lose weight no matter how much you feed her. With such a large litter, the caloric and energy demands will always outweigh how much she can eat. Undoubtedly, your jill's cage will become smelly after she gives birth. However, you should change the bedding only to check for neglected or abandoned kits. Just like when you put food and water in the cage, be stealthy when you change the bedding. If you have the cage in an enclosed room, the smell could become unbearable. Increase the air circulation in the room by keeping a door open.

What is a summary?
Give the jill her privacy. Feed your jill as you did when she was pregnant. Minimize bedding changes.
