New Kit
Hello.
We have unexpectandly had 3 babies from our young loinhead Strudle.
She, who we thought was a he was bought around a month ago to be a new friend for Mozart our other lionhead , who after coming down with an ear infection and coming to live inside for a while while he made a full recovery was then rejected by his long time male parner Snowbutton a Nertherland dwarf , who is prone to be aggresive.
After many attempts at re bonding we decided to get him a new friend as he was so lonely but hadnt anticipated a girlfriend.
Strudle now lives in my daughters bedroom, and up until last night Mozart was outside in the daytime and back with his friend in the evenings.
We had planned to move them both outside but Strudle was very nervous and difficult to handle .
Anyway yesterday in a total shock we found 3 babies wriggling around in a very precarious part of the bedroom underneath the rocking horse and a sort of blow up toy.
Mozart was subsequently banished outside and is very depressed! and the babies are wriggling all over the carpet.
Just been upstairs and they are wriggling all over the bedroom so got a llarge carboard box and scooped them up in a dustpan(gently) together with bits of bedding .There is some shavings in the box and a bit of nest and thats it!
I have sellotaped a lip to the bottom so that strudle can jump in and out.
I know that I have messed with them more than I should , but I havent touched them and couldnt have them rolling everywhere.
There doesnt seem must nesting though-I there any thing else I could leave down - there is straw and hay elsewhere in the bedroom.
Also would it be a bad idea for Mozart to go up at night the other side of a wire gate so that they can touch noses and still see each other , or would that be too much stress(they have done it before)!
Update tonight_Babies getting messy in shavings.Have a horrible feeling mum might neglect them now!
Many thanks.Any advice very much appreciatted.
