As some of you are aware we have a litter of 5 kits, which will be 6 weeks old on Thursday, we have been putting them all out in the run with mum for most of the day as there's a lot more space for them all, which has gone down very well until.....
We had to pop out so put them all in the cage, and when we got back, we just put the babies in the run, mum seemed very happy they had gone out
But after about an hour they all started to chase each other around mounting each other etc and then it got nasty, we don't know who started it or which ones were involved (except 1) but there was fur everywhere!!
We have put them all back in the cage now hoping mum will stop any more fighting.
Does this mean they might have to be separated?
