One of my girls has started to worry me with her breathing and weight.
Mimi is around 2 yrs old. she was bought at a store were she was meant to be a feeder, I later realized why this was bad choice and know better now.
Her body is weird, everything is smaller compared to my other girls. She has had two litters.
She has started to breath funny when she's standing still. Really rapid but there is no sound that I can identify.
I have tried looking up what the problem could be but I always end up thinking its twelve different things.
I did try and use one of my moms stethoscopes but I wasn't sure what to listen for.
I clean the girls cage either once or twice a week with hot water. I use a sponge to wipe the big parts and a toothbrush to get corners and edges.
I wipe off their water bottle and rinse the inside with hot water and later fill it with water from the fridge because are water is very rough.
I wipe down everything in there cage and avoid ceder and pine bedding. Right now they do have aspen.
I did take one of my old hats and turned it into a hammock for them but it was washed and aired out before it was put in. There is shredded paper in the hat.
I also really should point out her behavior here is very strange. She normally hates being in one place and wants to run. I've being trying to take multiple videos to show the breathing and shes just staying here, only moves a little every now and then to clean herself or get comfy.

I just got her out to see the feet color and the best way I can describe this is shes thumping, like when someone pats you on the shoulder this is what she feels like. Shes also bruxing which I know means either happy or pain. I'm getting the meds first thing in the morning.
