I've seen the babies get born!

This afternoon one of my females gave birth for the second time. The first time she ate them but now all went well. She has 10 babies and she is a real mom now (I was not sure if she had it in her after last time but all went well). But the greatest thing is that I saw them actually get born. I have them in those plastic Faunaboxes (I don't know if you know them but here in Holland we do. They are transparant plastic boxes) and I had the place where she had made her nest placed over the border of my table (the bottom of her nest is empty so I can see her). So, once in a while I sat down under the table to see if anything was happening. And this afternoon she was very restless so I presumed she was getting her babies. And indeed. I saw all of the ten babies got born. Really great to see!
