My two girls had kits this week. It's mine and their first time. Nibbles had hers first she's doing great. Then Moxie had hers. Moxie will have nothing to do with hers. I gave them to Nibbles but culled 5 due to no milk band and their already a day old. Is there anything I can do to help. I feel bad her taking care of all of them.
 
I would hand feed them and try keeping them with their original mother. Unless she starts being mean to them I would keep them with her as much as possible. She may end up forming a bond. You'll need to hand feed them about every hour though if she doesn't take them on in this first week let the other momma care for them if she will still. There is nothing wrong with them being with the other mom though. If she accepted them and they're eating they're fine!
