Finally got to see a birth...problems arose :( - 11/01/06 06:27 AM
Today while I was cleaning up to get ready for Halloween....
I went to clean the drop pan in my trio's cage and Sophie( my oldest glider), was awake. I looked at her and said Hey Sophs!....what are you doing awake? want a snack? And then I noticed...she was giving birth! I have never seen it before and was so excited! I ran and got the camera
and started snapping pics through the cage. I went to put the camera up and came back and she was running in the wheel!!! I thought it was odd, because when I was taking the pics, her baby was on her back leg. I checked her out and the baby was gone! I found it in the drop pan...so tiny and pink and started [censored] out! I went and washed my hands and gently picked up the little fetus and put it back on her. She started licking agin so I was hoping for the best...BUT I found either that joey or another one on
the other side of the cage in the drop pan. I again picked it up and kind of held her and put it on her pouch . She started licking again, so I let her be. I went and called my hubby to tell him, and then came back and checked on her. She was in the pouch with the other 2, so I took everyone out and kept Sophie with me and noticed a baby on the tip of her tail! I took the baby and this time held her, opened her pouch a bit and put the little one inside for her. I checked her again a little bit ago and thought that i felt a lump, but I will have to check again in a couple of days. I feel so awful that this happened to her. She has had 3
sets of twins and a single boy this last time that actually just turned 8 weeks yesterday.
Does anyone have any advice for me!?
