long, but funny story - Paw Talk

Lilly and Milly have been taking very good care of Lilly's 8 pups.
In fact, I think Milly is in with them more than their mom! Maybe because she's also expecting, she feels she needs the practice!

OK, now for the funny part.
First, let me describe the cage set-up that we have. Since we found out we were going to have pups, we moved the 3 degus to all 1 story, until pups are ready for multi levels. We have 2 VERY large aquariums connected together at the top with a tube through the covers. They can go from one aquarium to the other through the tube. This is taking up my ENTIRE dining room table!
My husband made a divider for in the tube, so that Willy would have 1 side to himself until he could be with his new family. Willy sat in his half of that tube and chirped for 2 days. He wanted to go to the other side so bad!

Well, this morning was the big day. Willy can be with his family! We took out the divider and the 2 girls went into Willy's side, because he has the wheel! Willy just followed them around. He was very happy.
Then Lilly went over to her side to feed the pups, so Willy followed her over.
Willy peeked in the jar, his ears went back and he ran as fast as he could back in the tube! There was bedding flying straight up in the air! It was so funny! I don't think he was ready for pups, let alone 8 of them!
I watched for a while, to make sure he was going to be OK with them and he was. He went back over, I guess once the shock had passed, and went in the jar with Lilly and the pups.
All seems good now!

Sorry this is so long, but for you to picture this, I needed to get fairly descriptive.

Lol...we'll think how you would feel in his situation! You get seperated from your 2 lovers for awhile, then when you finally get back in with them, you're so happy to see them again - But what's this??

8 Babies!?

Holy cow what happened here!?

Then you think about it for awhile and your like "oooooooooh yeah!"
