Chinchilla Chateau
Ok, so after five years of breeding, I finally had my first mummified kit experience.
I came home yesterday to find that three of my females had littered. In Spaz' cage, I saw a healthy standard kit running around. When Spaz saw me, she came to the cage door and in the back of a cage I saw a dark round... thing.
I got a closer look and it looked like a ball of fur which had once been wet and had now dried into a hardened mass. I picked it up and noticed there were some pieces sticking out. I pull on the pieces and the ball unrolls... they are legs and the tail! I completely unroll the ball to find a very scary 1 1/2" alien-looking mummified kit, intact with whiskers. I opened the mouth and it even had tiny little teeth.
Pretty disturbing.
I managed to take a couple pictures but I just couldn't look at it any longer. It was very creepy.

Don't mind the purple on my hands. It's Blu-Kote, not alien blood...
menagerie: I've edited the photos to links, so people won't be shocked.
