    Funny noise

    I have 6 babies. Well they’re going on 6 weeks now. It’s been cold so they are still in house. Anyway, I’ve notice for a couple of weeks a few of them when lying down make this thumping sound. At first it was only one, then I noticed a couple others do it as well. It’s so weird.
