    Normal poo switching back and fourth between diarrhea

    that's what I thought she is weaned and what not so I wonder if he sent her home to soon just glad shes here and not possibly someone's meal. He breeds rats for food but sometimes they let you pick out some for pets. I am going Tues to get one of her siblings so hoping that might help her.

    Normal poo switching back and fourth between diarrhea

    i did offer her a little bit on her Lab Brick and she is licking it off atm. I am unsure on what the food is that I was given by the breeder i can ask. I mean to switch her to something else once she has regular poos, I don't want to upset her system more than is it.
