Well, no babies as of this morning, but the nestand her dewlap is much bigger! Her belly is huge and bulging in oddplaces, and when she stands up, I see nipples, which means they arepretty big.
She is SO happy to have the cage space. I got chinned today because Ihad a little Bub-smell on my hands.
Oh, the suspicious look,just like the one Bub gives when I smell like someone else. lol
I noticed there wasn't any poop or urine under the cages.....guesswhere I found it all--yup.....the box.:XLittle stinker isonce again using every part but the nest as a nice enclosed bathroom.So I removed the front half board so it all goes through the wire, andleft the back board under the nest. She has horrible habits, can'timagine what the cages were like at the breeder's!
Naturestee, I have a vet I'd try again, a new one--she's reallycautious about rabbits, knowing they are more sensitive, and it soundslike the people at this placeknow how to palpate. That is, ifshe needed attention soon.
Gypsy, her nails are pretty bad, one back one is grown all twisted. Butnothing immediately painful that I can see. I talked to a friend today(critter expert), and she said that is the right spot for a goiter. Shealso pointed out that since she wasn't receiving good nutrition at thebreeder's, she probably was deficient in iodine to begin with and nowthe babies are taking what little she had. She was scary-thin when shecame. I remember a really bony spine and sharp points everywhere.Mostly covered now. She doesn't mind chinning me with that lump there,it's only when I reach for her neck. So I think it's not painful, she'sjust got trauma issues with that spot.
Anyway, looking wonderful today and super friendly! Carolyn, sorry no babies!!!
