Congrats on the new babies! How adorable! You will need bigger digs in a couple of weeks for these babies and by the end of one week, they can hop right out of this sized tub! So be prepared with a screen and a bigger tub soon.

Enjoy your new babies. I hope they bring you great joy and lots of eggs!!

Cubby looks like he is picking out his favorite for lunch. Terriers have a very high predator drive, even the toy breeds.
