Hi everyone, we have some sad news.......
We have been out all day so not had time to fully check the babies untill now, I went out this morning before we went out to feed DaisyMoo and all seemed ok.
Anyway, just brought the babies in for their daily cuddles and outcomes baby number 1,2,3,4,5,6 & 7.....NO BABY NUMBER 8 !!!!!
I frantically search the nest looking to find number 8, wondering if he is hidden somewhere......NOTHING !!!!!!
I go back to mums enclosure and sift through some of the piles of shavings on the floor.......NOTHING !!!!!
I then got my partner to also check and he finds the baby buried under the sawdust, in the corner where mum pees, hes dead.:tears2:Also mum was guarding this area, so she must have known.
I think he has probably been latched onto mum when she has jumped out of the nest from feeding and died from the cold through the night.
So we now have just 7 babies, but all seem to be doing fine, even the 2 small ones.
I have also just witnessed for the first time mum feeding them, which wasre-assuring.
Anyway.....I am going to start a thread inbunny blogsto record the progress of the babies (as requestedby grumpybabies)so please take a look and enjoy their progress with me. I will also need help identifying what colors they are.
