After being with the kits today and notice in the cage there is some diarrhea, not sure which or how many of the kits this is from. Ive checked under there bums, all seem to have a really tiny bit of fur that that looks as though its dried urine (i guess that's normal? it really is only a few strands) One has a few strands covered in what could have been diarrhea poo but just a few strands and really clean other than that. One however has poo stuck to it and is really dirty, the poo stuck to it is solid but there is evidence of diarrhea also.
First question - is this something to worry about? and what do i do about this?
Second question - can i clean her and how is this suppose to be done?
btw - kits are 4 weeks, we lost their mum last Wednesday so been a week without her. All seem well, all gained weight except one who has lost weight (not the dirty one) but the one in question was underweight last week but gained this week. if any of that helps? imo she also is very quiet compared to the others, is not bothered much by any thing, i have seen her eat and drink though. Even before i saw this i was worried about her, no reason just the feeling i get when i look at her.
