The Knick Family: Our new addition to the family

When we got Sophie 2 months ago, we had no clue or even thought about her being pregnant. I was starting to wonder what was going on a few weeks ago, because she just kept getting bigger and bigger. I just thought she was eating too much, but then I started to wonder if she could have come to us pregnant. Last Thursday, while I was cleaning her cage, Jeremy was holding her, and he felt something move around. We watched her closely the next few days, and her tummy would just go crazy! On Tuesday morning, we got to watch her give birth. Jeremy heard something when he came into the room, and looked in to see her with 2 already, and called us in. We watched the 3rd come out in the sac, and Sophie bite it so the baby could breath. It was pretty incredible! She then started cleaning them right away, and soon they were walking around making noises! We think that they are all 3 girls, and will keep checking these next few weeks, just to make sure. If they are, we will probably keep all 3, get another cage, so 2 can share. We had been talking about getting the other 2 one anyways, so this works out great! They say that they should not be alone, so they will have plenty of company!

The three little ones minutes after they were born!

Here is Sophie feeding them. They somehow all get under her and are able to eat. They are 4 days old now and are eating regular food, and drinking water. They still have their mom, but they can eat regular food already too!

Here they are at 1 day old. All clean and so cute!

Baby #1~ Jaxon's Asoka (from has favorite cartoon Star Wars the Clone wars) We think she was born first, and has different hair than Minnie and Sophie.

Baby #2~ Hayden's Minnie. She was the last one born, we actually got to watch her come out. It was pretty amazing! She has the same hair as her mommy, Sophie. Hayden wanted her right away, he called her the "down hair one"!
