Loving rats since 2002.
It's been so long that have witnessed the birthing of babies... so I need some help!
Daizy is showing some signs of discomfort.
Yesterday we were able to hold her and pet her, she loved it. But today if you try to lightly touch her she does very light eeps and then nips really hard. She drew blood on me, nothing severe but I got her message: don't touch her.
She walks around, then settles in a corner, spreads her legs and bruxxes like going into a zone. At this point, I decided maybe we should switch her to a smaller cage, I want to monitor her pee and poops.
In the small cage, she wants to be completely hidden. She does some leg stretches like she's cramping. Then she walks it off, goes around the cage and again, back in a corner, spreads her legs and zones out.
So does this sound like perhaps the beginning of labour or that she may be having severe discomfort from tumours?
