Had my first "bad birth" of the season.
X3 LOOKED to be a black velvet, but I honestly cannot tell. Was doing cages, got to her moms cage and say a lump in the cage, grabbed it and it was an ice cold baby. Upon looking at the baby, I noticed several things wrong: Baby was fairly small. Baby was missing an entire front leg, not even a stump left. Baby was missing half his tail, and half of a back leg. Part of the skin was ripped open, and peeling off the baby... I could have sworn I saw him/her mouth move once or twice, but I cannot be sure...either way after rubbing him a few times, i thought better of it and just left him go. Doubt he'd have made it, but if he should have--there would have been no quality of life there considering he was missing almost two limbs, skin and half a tail..
RIP little X3.
Mom has been cleaning herself quite a bit, so I'm watching her closely.
