Disaster; I has it.
Well, not so bad, I guess. My argente doe dropped today, four days early and very unexpected. She was huge, and she only had seven teeny tiny bubs. There was a large amount of bloody tissue though, and one of them is missing his whole tail, so I wonder if she ate some. She left the one with the tail missing outside the nest, and the others dotted all around the place inside XD. I wasn't expecting them so soon, and was very shocked to find hours old pups when I went to clean first thing. They really could only been three or four hours old.
So yeah. I had to clean the box a bit a little later on, it was due today which I thought was enough time and there was poop and food everywhere. And I sneakily rearranged a few things to make a nest in the nest box, as she hadn't made one at all o.o. Aunty had gathered all the babies into a pile by then though, and they all had really fat milk bands, so *fingers crossed*. I hope my prodding doesn't upset her too much.
