On the fb group I follow someone posted about the momma biting of the leg of one of her babies. It's only a couple days old. Still a pinkie... Was just curious why a momma might do this?
She's still taking care of all of them. Cleaning and feeding them all...
 
Sometimes there are birthing injuries and mom uses her teeth to pull out a pup stuck in the birth canal. Rarely a mom can be over zealous in her grooming after the birth too.
 
That's what some people were saying on Fb, was that the mom accidentally cleaned too rough...
Thanks lilspaz! [emoji4]
