How can I protect the rest of them when the mother insists on keeping them under our bed without a blanket. When I put one under there for her/them, she moves them and refuses the use of any blanket, bed, etc. How can I protect the other ones from dying (there are now 3 left). This is her first, and last, litter (she will be spayed once the babies are weaned). My fiance says to make her a bed out of a box, but I think that she wo't use it and will still keep the babies under the bed where it is colder than anywhere else.
The one that died is one that she had been ignoring off and on for the past 2 weeks that it had been alive. If I had known that the kitten was that bad off, I would have gotten some milk, a bottle, etc, and fed it myself. But, just when I thought she was going to ignore it completely, she would take care of it again. My fiance says that since it is her first litter, it is to be expected to lose one, maybe two of them. Is this normal?
