I went away for like 36 hrs ( made sure everyone had heaps of food and water) and when i get back, the first thing i do is check and make sure everyone is ok ( by everyone i mean the 16 guinea pigs, 2 rabbits, 6 ratties, the cat and the 2 snow flake eels....lol)
Anyway....so i go to check my mummy to be....decided to have some snuggle time with her. I gentle lifted her out of her cage and MY GOD....her flank area is sooooooooo big. How can it get that big in 36 hrs.
So onto the scales we go..... 1295gms....thats a gain of 215gms in 2 weeks....and a gain of 389gms for her pregnancy so far.
Most of my girls have had a pregnancy gain of approx 400 to 420gms resulting in 4 babies.
So either Patch is further along in her pregnancy than i thought or she may possibly be having more than 4 babies....time will tell.
Anyway.....we had snuggle time, she was sitting on my chest very content while i read my new Matthew Reilly novel ( the five Warriors)....and i tell you...im pretty sure she was reading it too....she certainly looked interested in it....lol
I will have to keep a close eye on her over the next week and see how her weight goes, soon i will have to seperate her from Dougal Daddy.....he wont be happy......smile....but he will just have to cope for a while without Patchie mummy. Im sure he will be as proud as punch when his babies come along.
Anyway
stay tuned for new updates....smile
so exciting
