Thanks for your comforting words. I don't feel a whole lot better today, but I am trying to deal with the guilt and just take better care of my babies.
The elevator/swinging carrier concept sounds interesting. I might do something like that as a stressor. The elevators are currently being repainted and made pretty again in my building, so maybe in a couple days I'll try it out -- Thanks, Stan.
The new shipment of Kleenmama's hay came. And not a moment too soon. Kirby won't touch the Oxbow orchard grass that I bought to tide the buns over this week. He probably hasn't eaten a lot of hay since Tuesday
I filled his hay basket with a ton of 3rd cut timothy and he's wasted no time making a mess eating it in his condo.
I poured the orchard grass into Penny's litter box. She doesn't care, she'll eat it.
She doesn't have a hay rack yet because she seems to forget where to poo when she eats from the rack... she'll stand outside of the liitter box and eat from the rack, then conveniently poo out there too. Until her litter habits are better, she'll have to eat in the litter box.
I tried to give her a little bit of alfalfa pellets to help her finish her molt but it doesn't seem to be helping. She has some uneaten cecals the last 2 days and her poos seem squishier (less dry) than usual. It's either the pellets or the amt of fresh greens she is being fed. She was fed greens every day in shelter care as well, but perhaps the pellet amt/quality was different. Anyways I'm goin to switch her back to all timothy pellets and halve her greens and see if she does better.
I haven't tried bonding Penny and Kirby today. Mostly because I feel like crap and I'm just not up for it. But I know both Penny and Kirby had a stressful time yesterday so I am letting them chill out today.
Toby is enjoying his time running around, having the living room to himself while Kirby chills in the rabbit room. According to UPS, Toby's Leith condo ships tomorrow
It will be very exciting to get his condo.
