Oh everybody is just killing me, you go brush your teeth and when you come back there are kits being born. I am soo jealous. Congratulations! She is absolutely beautiful. I hope you can keep her.
 
Thanks!
She is a riot.
She has a little piggy nose that never stops moving and when i put hay and pelets in at night she always has to run to them and pick them up and try to eat them.
 
My next girls will be named either Sassafrass, Sassparilla or ZsaZsa. I like P names for girls too - Posey, Penelope, Poppy, Petunia...which would go with your other chins.You could also get ideas from themes like, spices (sugar, spice, nutmeg, etc.) or maybe a movie or tv show you like...
 
Thanks for all the replys!
I realy like penelope especially since she has a pig nose.
So last night I was holding her and she sat still for a second and started to shake.
It didn't scare me though because Roo does it all the time (he is the father)
I posted one time of it maybe him purring on CnQ?
Like a cat?
I don't know, do you guys think it's normal?
It was more like vibrating (like your phone) then shaking.
I had asked the vet one time about it too when Roo went in, he said we shouldn't worry about it...

a new thread with this question should be in order, so it doesn't get lost in the shuffle, but I am not exactly sure what you are describing...If you just said the kit did the shaking I would say maybe she was just cold, but since you say the father does it, it leads me to think they could be seizures. How long do they last? Does his/her body contort oddly and get stiff?
 
I was thinking of starting a new thread.
The body doesn't contort at all.
It last for about three seconds.
She will be moving then she will stop, and sit for a second and like shake, but it isn't major movements, nothing of her body moves like her tail or her ears or her feet, it just like her mid section. Do you have a cat?
Have you ever felt them pur? It's like that but weaker.
Should i get another vet's opinion?
