A little wet is normal. The kits and doe I had put down were fullblowen.The discharge could be seen on the kits and mom verydistinct. Your doe will most likely be fine.

As for holding the kits. I check on the kits twice a day, just enoughto pick them up and put 'em down. A look to see if they have been fed.I do this till they have their eyes open and then old them longer andlonger each day on. I don't hold the kits longer then 2 mintues intillthey are outta the box and running around. Thats when the kits all getout to the cage and play together in an pet playpen I have. Everyonehandles their animals different, and this is just how I do it.

 

[babbitlover]

ok, it freaked me out, just wanted to make sure,is that all i should look at in the kits is a round tummy, its so hardwhen they keep squirming lol. yea, i dont hold them hold them, justcheck them, and put them back. on one of the gray babies there is a cutabout --- long on the top of its head. momma always steps on the nestand on the babies. the top part of the nest is uncovered, could it beshe may have scratched it while she stepped on it, she licks the babiesalot. we just noticed it, and its scabbing over and looks like itshealing

 

[RusselandRoxy]

oh god, i cant help but i hope its ok, i'm guessing if its healing over it will be ok. Leanne

 

[babbitlover]

he seems to be doing fine other wise.

It could be allergies. Have you introducedanything new to them the last couple days? I noticed one of my does hasa slightly wet nose and was sneezing. Yesterday I got some new hay-same kind, but from a different farm. She must have been allergicbecause I took it out and she stopped.
