T78 4 Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 is she mnot having them in the nest box?i presume not...if the worst comes to the worst,i would "hollow out a bowl" in the shavings in the nest box and place them in there and hope she follows to feed them.(touching them as little as poss with clean hands) Quote Link to post
