Royal babies on the way - Meghan is pregnant! Help!

roxyroller88 said:
Sorry for all the questions guys! I've asked a few people already but the more opinions the better :)

I feel like I need to clean the pen. With it being temporary the floor is a fleece blanket and it has some blood on it. With weather like this I want to keep it clean so it doesn't attract any nasties.

So my questions is, am I ok to take mum out of the pen so that I can change the blanket and have a general tidy up? And if so, should I pop the nesting box next to her so she knows they're safe?

Your video :love: I can see this being one of those RU as a collective falls for your bunnies (& their situation) in a big way. I hope you can share their journey. Can you lead mum out with a food treat in to another area without touching her? I really have no idea but I can understand you wanting a clean up. How big is their shared space? How is Meg when you change her hay, water, litter tray. Eeek, I don't knowbut I'm excited

BUMP
 
I managed to clean the pen ok, left the nest alone and I'm feeling better about it all now!

Except for this.... :cry: Look at him :cry: He wants to be with her so badly and it's breaking my heart.

I managed to clean it ok. At times she is very territorial. She will come up to see me but as soon as I put my hand in to change food/water she will lunge or growl. That is understandable though because she has to learn to trust me. Bless her. This is Megs (and babies) pen :) Not perfect but hopefully better than before!

It should be ok to remove Mum and you shouldn't need to remove the nest box as well. Hope she doesn't mind.

What a great photo, I can guess why he wants to be with her!
Hopefully he will still want to be with her once he has had the chop
 
I'm just a little worried about the pink one. Seems skinmier but I'm guessing their weight may fluctuate a little throughout the day? All nice and warm etc.
 
I feel so overwhelmed. Why anyone would choose to breed I'll never know. It's so stressful and tiring. I keep crying :lol::lol::lol:

Because you care a lot :love:

Many people don't value life as some of us others do. Perhaps that's why it's easier for them and not us.
What do I know?

I felt like that when I fostered Hannah, a pregnant hamster, for ARC. I had no experience of newborn hamsters at all and was terrified of doing something horribly wrong. I don't regret it though. It was also an awesome experience and I still see some of the 'baby' hammies as friends of mine adopted them.
