So, went out today to get my ferret
(eventually! As much as I'd like to tellyoualleverythingbecauseomgimsoexcited it's totally off-topic, so feel free to PM me if you want to hear me squee over her XD).
Came back home and found rat babies.
I didn't think she was that close. Three days ago you couldn't even tell she was pregnant.
There's eight, but I'm not keeping my hopes up they'll all survive. One was outside the nest, and two had fallen through the bottom of the cage. And before anyone says anything, the cage bottom if wire, there is a plastic slide-out tray that has a big hole in one corner where my other two girls has chewed it. And for some reason she thought it'd be a good idea to give birth in that corner.
I've moved her & babies into a high walled plastic storage tub, and put the three into the nest with the other.
Poor girl doesnt seem to have a clue whats going on. And the poor little guy is so unhappy that I've took him away from her. Can't put him in with Nimbus & Timbre either, because Nimbus has a skin condition again. My animals pick have the best timing to get sick
On the upside, I'm off to the GP sanctuary tomorrow, and I'll be able to see a couple of people who may potentially have some babies. If any survive.
Oh, and another friend from the sanctuary is giving me a Catit carrier. I love those things! i wanted to steal it off her when she brought one of her pigs to the last show in it XD
