So Tabitha was picked up the last week in August by Mia9_28, a feeder breeder that was in with two boys. The local Humane Society agreed to take the boys, but refused the female when they learned she was possibly pregnant.
I agreed to take her in, knowing she might have been preggo. She displayed a big belly right from the start, so we were a bit concerned. Her initial weigh in was 185g. Each day she was weighed and she kept gaining and gaining. Then she plateaued at 350g, and almost three weeks from her rescue she finally showed the sure signs of being in heat. There would be no more litters for this little lady.
She is very energetic and active, always curious about things. She will snuggle for short bursts and is the best bruxxer I have ever had. I have also discovered she is a rodentist! She will stick her whole head in my mouth and give me a checkup and cleaning. LOL
I started intros with my group of nakies when I knew she wasn't pregnant. It wasn't going too badly until yesterday when her tail was bitten several times.
So she got a dose of Metacam...
Anyway, she is out by herself with me for a few days until her tail heals a bit before hanging with the monsters again.
