I need a good way to tag the babies so I can keep track of who's babies they are, until I can put them in seperate cages. I thought of food coloring on their tails. Any suggestions would be appreciated. This is a pic of Latifa.

You can use non-toxic cattle markers; get them at a feed store, comes in multiple colors. Just paint the color on the sides of the body, or forearms.

i woudn't paint anything on them if it wont come of at some point easily. i would separate the babies by spliting your current tanks in half.

or set up a rubbermaid contianer for one monther's babies and leave the others in bird cage or whaever you said you used.
