Evening,
Just me again. So we lost 3 babies around the week mark, to severe injuries caused by mum.
We found putting mum out for the day and putting her back with kits overnight has worked. No more injured. Mum appears happier and babies are just over 2 weeks and running round like mad.
I have noticed past couple of days, they are chasing mum for milk. Especially a certain two. Mum just jumps away and doesn’t let them feed. Is this normal ?
Mum has fed them in front of me previously unfazed, quite a few times. I guess I’m worried she is getting fed up. I also am finding it harder to tell if they are all getting fed overnight. As they are fluffy and hard to see if tummies are round. Even when feeling.
Just after any advice, as this has been the most helpful, and non judgemental site I have found.
Do I just trust mum is doing her thing and they are fine. They also now escape out of the nest and go into a wooden box with hay in as there preferred location ? Do I leave the kits to it if that’s what they want or continue to put them back in the original nest ? As they keep escaping.
Ps have a cute pic of my 6 bundles of joy
