Pregnant Tenrec

I have two trios of tenrecs and whilst one was cooled down for the winter the other group was kept warm as at the time Madame Cholet was with them and she was too small to go into semi-hibernation.

Orinocho didn't stick to the rules and squeaking noises have been heard for a few weeks - been checking on the girls and Lily by our guess, is definately showing signs of being pregnant - either that or she has been eating too much food!

Just to be on the safe side, as this will be hopefully, my first litter, I have set Lily up in her nursery home today - she loves her hollow cork bark tube so we have moved this into her new temporary home and also set up a private area towards the back so she can have a choice of where to rear her babies.

My other trio have only just started to squeak last week so keeping an eye out of these as well.

Something positive to end a crappy week and especially as I won £5 on the thunderball and £85 on the lottery last night

Congratulations!

oooohhhh fingers crossed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i hope she has a successful litter

and yay on winning on the lottery!!!!

Mine have started squeaking too!!! funny sound isnt it - I read on the net that it sounds a bit like a bicycle wheel that needs oiling lol and it does a bit!!
