I have a 4 week OOP joey that has been crabbing and making noise just about all day. Her mom has 2 joeys ip. Could she be starting to be rejecting this baby or is it just getting vocal.

She isn't biting the joey is she? She may be pushing the joey away. I wouldn't remove the joey unless she starts biting him or her.

You will see bite marks on the little ones face.

Have you increased their food at all. With her having a older joeys and two in pouch, you need to make sure that she is getting enough to eat.

I have increased her food quite a bit. I havent seen any bite marks on the baby yet.

I just went to get the baby out of the hammock they sleep in and the mom and dad were all snuggled up together and the little baby girl was in a ball by herself. Is that normal?

Was she on the hammock with them?

She was on the same hammock but not with them.

That is good. In a week or so you may find her climbing around the cage and sampling mom and dad's dinner.

Keep us posted on how things are going.

I found the baby exploring and playing in the cage this morning. Mom and dad were sleeping in the hammock.

Keep watching on/off making sure the baby is not left completely on its own. The little one needs plenty of food not to mention sleep just like mom and dad wink
