Title: Whiskers
Post by: Squirrel_Butt on October 06, 2011, 12:14:30 AM

The babies are chewing Raisin's whiskers.  Will they grow back?  Can she function without them?

Yes they will grow back, Typically its a dominance thing.  Nothing to worry about.

I have pairs that over groom each other and are always chewing off the whiskers!  No big deal. :)

Raisin has been separated from her kits for 2 weeks. They come in every other day now to finish off whats left of her milk.
