I thought we had until August 4th for Gerri's new litter, but I got home from work to find that she'd had her second one sometime today.
The first litter isn't weaned and I'm at a loss as to what to do to help them. I don't want any of them to die, but it's too soon to give them to new homes.
I have no idea what to do right now, and I need some advice.

Wow sounds like you have an abundance of them now. Seems like it was too soon to have them right? Maybe they will not all make it if it is too soon to have had them. I would say simply do the best you can and keep on eye that the mom does not kill anymore this time around, though I am not sure how you can prevent that. Wow how many of them did she have this time around?

I can't be sure since she's on top of them again, but it looks like maybe 6. They're all pink, so she must have had them this morning, but we didn't check on them before work.
I got home and found Tom in the wheel, and Gerri in the exact same spot where she had the first litter. Then I saw pink masses and knew that the new ones had arrived.
A little while ago, 2 of the first litter shot out from under Gerri, so I can see that she's still trying to wean them.
This time it was stress free for her since no one knew that she'd had them, so hopefully she will take care of them all this time.
When she comes out of her nest, I'll see if I can count them again. She may not have been done yet, but I can't be sure right now.
