This morning, I heard squeaking from the girls cage and thought "Oh no, they must be beating up on Molly". Introduction with her to the girls cage have been slow, but I finally moved her in yesterday and it's been going fairly well. Anyway, I come downstairs and Luna, my smallest girl who was the runt of the litter, is bracing herself, almost moving back and forth slowly and rhythmically. She looks like she's vomiting [tongue sticks out and she jerks forward], and what comes out is thick and yellowish. Really I didn't know what to do at that point, or if I -could- even do anything.
Has anyone else had this happen? What causes it, and why is it only with my one girl? I've seen this happen with her before, so this isn't the first time. I wonder though, how many more times has it happened when I'm not around? I'm very scared she will choke when it happens. Rat's can't vomit from what I've read, and I know regurgitation is different... but it is still very very scary, and I felt so incredibly helpless.
She is fine now though, running around like normal and wrestling. Any thoughts?
