One of my moms had 4 babies today. I found them this evening….all 4 were decapitated. *sigh* This wasn’t her first litter, so I don’t have any idea why she freaked out and decided to kill them. I am speculating that maybe it was a difficult birth, the babies were huge and she was past » Continue reading…

I found on of the babies dead and outside of the hut this morning. Its belly was empty, so I opened the nest box and looked at the other 2 babies. Their bellies were empty as well. I saw them attempting to suckle on Shell, so they know what to do. I assume Shell’s milk » Continue reading…

I’m worried about Shell’s litter. She had 3 babies that were born yesterday, and today I found one baby out of the nest on 2 occasions. They were different babies, and it doesn’t appear that Shell was throwing them out. Shell is a funny mom. She either does really well with her litters or really » Continue reading…

*Knock on Wood* Things are looking better here. I am hoping that my streak of bad luck is finally over. The swollen leg GIRL (I guess I was too focused on the leg to notice her lack of boy parts) is looking a lot better. The top part of her leg is still swollen, but » Continue reading…
