My black bear just had babies 3 days ago. she has 7 and they all look healthly, but the problem is she moved them out of the nest across the cage in a new nest away from where she sleeps. all but 2 found there way back to her, but the 2 lost babies cant seem to find her nest and she wont go retrieve them, it has been about 8 hrs now, and they havent got to nurse and are just moving around and squeaking at times, but cant find her, they are trying to scoot around and find her but with no luck, i know not to touch the new babies, but can i some how help them get back in the nest, like maybe scott them with a spoon or something to get them so they can eat? it is just breaking my heart to see them lost and hungry and cold. is this normal hamster mom behavior??

yes you can scoot them back in the nest with a spoon but make sure it has the mothers scent on it, not yours
