Tomorrow the babies would be 3 weeks old - one of them will be making this milestone! She's doing pretty good, not eating as much solids as I've read they should at this age. She hasn't tried water yet - I did add some sugar to it, still no interest. She munches on hay and parsley and the occasional pellet. She's very cute with grey eyes and a very sweet personality. As most of you know, she's been inside for the past couple days because of her two brothers suddenly dying without notice. They were 100% healthy when I left them, came back and they were dead. I've been bringing her out in the morning, whenever I wake up - usually anywhere from 8-10 AM and at night around 10-11 PM. When the mom sees me at these times, she jumps in the nest box and waits for the baby. The baby squiggles in my hands until I put her down. Because she's turning 3 weeks, I know the weaning process SLOWLY starts at this time, but since she's inside I don't know when to bring her out and when to keep her in. I want her to have a normal kit life so that she doesn't have behavioral/health problems in the future. Also, is there a time when I should leave her out with the mother all day? I don't know what happened to the others so I'm not sure if the mother killed them or she just didn't have enough milk for them all. Any help with raising her this way would be helpful. Thanks!
