Neely and her babies.

Yes, daughters have decided to do that. She's just reached the point where she can be separated from her babies & not get agitated. Daughter has &been giving her critical care (she hasn't been holding her weight) and last night right before the feed, she snuggled in & rested her head on daughter's arm & licked her. They're going to give her solo time in addition to cc care administration.
Not everything about having to hand feed critical care is bad. Some of the best bonding between me and the guinea pigs I've had to hand feed has happened during the feeding sessions.
It made my last 10 months with Scruffy special. After he recovered and up until his passing were the best times I had with him. It was the same with BJ. I think you will find the same joy with yours as they continue to show you the love and appreciation they have for you after taking such great care of them.
We're getting guinea foul to go with the chickens and goats. They're the best natural pest control. They eat ticks, flies and just about every nuisance bug there is.

I was just reading about them - sounds like they can be useful!
Neely & her babies went to the vet yesterday. The babies are doing fine. The vet said Neely's doing better than she would have expected!
Toby was put into the rabbit cage today. He was upset as expected, wheeking & paws up on the side of the cage & frantically looking for a way back home. He is eating & drinking.

I'm actually counting on the noisy guinea foul to help ward off predators. Or at least let us know when one is around so we can take care of it.
