My Priscilla had a little boy 12 days ago and I'm trying to remember how long I'm supposed to wait before giving her a bath? I've been checking her vulva and she's not swollen like before but she's not 100% back to normal yet either.
She only had one kit so I'm thinking 2 weeks should be...
Ok! Do you let the kits stay in the cage with her while she's dusting or should I take them out in case they get too curious and try to hop in while she's rolling?
My girl Priscilla had hr litter on Tuesday and I'm wondering how long I should wait before letting her take a dust bath? I read that I need to wait at least a week to give her vagina a chance to close so she doesn't get an infection. Is that correct?

i'm sure i'm not the first one to freak out like this, but it...
ok... sorry i guess i'm just paranoid. i'm mainly worried that priscilla isn't producing enough milk for all 3 because at one point they were under there for a long time!
