Okay, So Last night I stopped watching television and I went to sat next to Moshi's cage. and she was going absolutely crazy...
she was doing her nest for the 3rd time rearranging it.
It took a good 20 minutes to stop fiddling with the nest and then she just laid in it and then right then I thought she's definitely having a false but now I think she laid in it for like 15 minutes to warm it up because straight after she turned around and put her butt into position and started giving birth.
So after a long while of her giving birth then eating all the gross stuff (I had to leave the room because I have a weak stomach). I counted three really gorgeous babies.
She fed them twice last night! for about 10 minutes the first time and then she went and had a drink and a rest and then she went back and gave them more for another 10 minutes and this was all between 12:30 to 2:00
BUT and this is why I'm posting so early because I can't stop thinking what happened. But this morning I woke up... it's 8:55 am now, and she was in her litter box making the same noise she was making to give birth and I couldn't help think 'No, she's in pain maybe one is too big to give birth' and after maybe 15 minutes she stopped and she was licking and cleaning a still birth... after she cleaned the sweet little guy she immediately went to the nest and is feeding them again...
I've taken him out of there but I'm a bit confused...
I'm wondering if Moshi can't give birth fast enough maybe he suffocated?
or was it just bound to happen? He is most definitely not a peanut the exact same size of the others but when I picked him up it felt like his lower body wasn't attacked to his upper body internally? But I have never picked up a new born kit before so maybe they are usually lanky in that area?
I'm really proud of Moshi though, even though she lost one she still cleaned it up and mothered it for a little bit before realizing she has other kits to feed.
I'll post pictures really soon. I haven't actually touched them as of yet because I saw they were all healthy but now I'll need to check if they are actually getting milk from her.
Thanks everybody to every one that was giving me support and advice, I really needed it.
