I'm fostering a female and her 5 newborns. She left the umbilical cords really long. I'm afraid they will get snagged by a claw or stepped on by mom and ripped off. Do I leave them or trim them. (They are approximately 4" long)

You may trim them, but leave at least an inch. They usually fall off within the first week also.

Thank you. They were born yesterday so the cords were dried. I trimmed them leaving an inch.
