Rat squeaks and little tremor like movements
These babies are 4.5 weeks old. Their mother just weaned them about 5 days ago. This little girl is the smallest of the pups and she started to make this chirping noise last night. Today she had done it several times but once I pick her up she stops. Today she started doing it and she stood on her back legs and started leaning backwards until she had to catch herself from falling all the way over. When I pick her up she stops completely and seems to act normal. I can’t get her into my vet for another 4 days from
Now and so I figured I’d ask if anyone else has ever seen/heard about this. Could it be that since she’s the smallest maybe she’s not getting as much to eat as the other 11 babies and this is her calling for her mother? I read something about separation anxiety but she is housed with her mother so I’m not sure about that being the case. Also the cage in the video isn’t their home cage. It’s just a play area where everyone goes on home cage cleaning day. Just wanted to put that out there as I know it looks a bit smaller. I would appreciate any input immensely! Thank you!
