Well....the good news and the bad news.
The bad news. I went in to check on mama and the babies and we'd lost a baby..quite literally. The little chestnut baby got out of the nest and wasn't even under the towel that the nest is tucked into.
Then as I started shining the flashlight around - the baby came crawling out from the back of the dresser (he/she had gotten on the other side of the dresser).
No - crawled isn't the right word...WADDLED is the right word.
I think you'll see what I mean...
I think its safe to say that mama nursed them again this afternoon...so they're getting fed at least twice a day. (That is the good news - that they're all alive and have ping pong bellies).
A bit of bad news - one of the white babies had some green poo....BUT...I think it is cause Darla had lots of cilantro yesterday (she got to it when I laid it down and she ate the whole bunch). She had a bit of loose bowels and stuff...so today she's not having cilantro or banana or even fruit loops (and boy is she upset).
She is however chowing down on the hay...and her poops are back to normal...so I'm assuming baby will be ok.
If they turned out ok - 2 baby videos to come soon....
