QuestionHello,
We recently had one of our degus give birth to a litter of 3. We noticed that the morning after she gave birth that her nose was no longer the same dark brown as the rest of her body. I am concerned that it may be a health issue related to her being pregnant at an early age (she is only about 6-7 months old).
Should I be worried?
AnswerGreetings!
I have had young moms before of approximately the same age and noticed no color change in their noses. I cannot say for sure that everything is fine, but I've heard of nothing that is an issue with that either. Just make sure she's getting plenty of water, food and a calcium like Calf Manna.
Good luck,
Carol
