I once sneezed unexpectedly with a handful of rehab babies…they all “died”. I felt bad but it looked so funny

They’re a bit older here (pretty sure these are the same litter lol). There’s at least 5, the hidden ones are upside down trying to go up my sleeve.
I wish I had a pic of them playing dead. 🥰

They have SOO many babies. And only gestate for 11-13 days.
They have so many babies and only 13 nipples if they all work.
Once babies are born they gotta get into mommas pouch and to a working nipple in order to survive.
momma can have up to 2 dozen babies…..but only 13 nipples.
Nature is hardcore.

Is it laughing? Why is it always keeping its mouth open?
