Gutted
I am absolutely gutted - Lily one of my lesser tenrecs was very heavily pregnant and by my workings out she would have been due her litter any time. This would have been my first litter of tenrecs and although I have kept a careful eye on her it is really hard to see what is going on inside a cork bark tube with an extremely pregnant tenrec so have been tempting her out with food - she came out yesterday to eat but on feeding her this afternoon, she never came out which is very unusual, thinking she may have had her litter I decided to leave well alone but something just made me think something was wrong - I could see the rear end of her but there was no movement at all - lifted the cork bark tube and she was dead underneath - there were signs around her bottom that looked like she had gone into labour but I can only assume that she has had problems giving birth and unfortunately, this has cost her her life - to say I am gutted is an understatement as Lily was a sweet gentle girl who was always first out for her food - feel sick to the stomach at this moment in time.

How we waste our precious time Marching in the picket lines That surround those striking hearts. How the time is never now, And we know who we should love, But we're never certain how. I know, You might roll your eyes at this, But I'm so Glad that you exist.

P****d off to be totally honest - just brings it home yet again that breeding is not easy, for every plus there is a minus to equal it all out.

Re: Gutted
Thanks everybody, it is so frustrating as they are not like the APH, I know when my girls have had babies with their behaviour prior to birth but with these there are no signs, or none that I could see, she had developed teats and was definately grumpy but keep wondering if there was more that I could have done - at least with Daisy I knew something was wrong and could act on it but this has totally knocked me for six - bad things come in threes or so they say, with my record of 8 bad things happening can't help but wonder what the ninth is going to be and then will I be going for double figures!
