I weighed her this morning and she's up 6g so I'm pleased with that but obviously she's very small and I'd like to chub her up a lot more. I stuffed a kitchen roll inner with hay a while earlier and she's been munching that for about half an hour, so I know she IS eating. Thats a good idea to weigh the pellets - when I cleaned her cage yesterday I noticed that she'd dropped quite a few where I thought she'd eaten well! I came down today to an almost clean bowl and I've refilled it but I'm not sure how much of that is actually being eaten, I've not seen any wasted food today though, so far!
She IS hunched a lot of the time- that concerns me too. Where as Poppy sleeps like a 'slug' (and sometimes on her side which used to freak me out, but I guess she finds it comfy!) Jasmine rolls up into a ball. I suspect her "breeder" did wean her much too young, and I have doubts that she is the age I have been told she is. She has very white teeth and likes to snuggle into the crook of my neck for a nap (which is adorable but weird for a chin, isnt it?)
No I havent tried acidophilus or probiotics - I do put vitamin drops into her water but that's about as far as I've gone with the medicating! Are these available from a vet? or petshop? or online?!
I could try the kit formula (I dont have CC but could get some if you guys thought it was important) although where on earth would I get powdered lambs milk?!
I'm so glad I have you all to tell me what to do here! :hug2: I have a lot to learn!
