The pups have made it over the first big hurdle. The next phase is probably going to end in a pup not getting enough milk because the 10 of them barely fit under Priss:

Priss is still in good spirits and is very industrious when she takes a break, so I still have faith she can pull them all through to the hopper phase. I took time while she was cleaning herself to change out the excrement encrusted area around the nest and snap quick shots of each baby :

Bub is listed as the father, but has only shown up once on this blog. So what is the Big Papi of my colony doing nowadays? Mainly lounging about. He had an accident on his wheel that made him favor his front left arm, so he is just rehabbing for now:
