How old is she?
(As I said above :-) she's just over 1, if I recall correctly.
She was one of our first pair. (Actually, our replacement first pair, cos
the first got taken back cos they were yucky) We got our first about a year
ago, not sure of the date, and she was POL, so I'm guessing she's between 14
and 16 months.
Is she eating & drinking well?
Seems to be.
Is she swollen up at all?
Not that I've noticed.
Are her droppings ok?
Hard to tell whose is whose, but no-one seems to be having problems.
Has she been wormed?
And external parasites?
Hmm, that would be NIck's area, not mine, so I would have to check with him.
However, I've just remembered - over winter we thought we were going to lose
her, cos she had a broken egg, but after some prodding and TLC she
recovered. I wonder if she may have had internal damage that has healed
over but caused a permanent problem?
As you may be able to tell, we're relatively new to this game!
Thanks.
