Hey ya'll!
I have four 3 week old littles. This little one is considerably smaller than the others. I noticed yesterday she was a bit lethargic, but eating, drinking and pooping fine. Today when I went to fill their food and water she was laying on her left side and breathing a little heavy. But when I opened the broader she got up and moved away. But she wasnt very balanced and when she laid down again she flopped to that left side. I decided to keep an eye on her. I heard a screech and a bunch of flaps from the next room and when I returned she was sprawled out and the other three kept trampling her. So I separated them for the time being. But she cries if she is alone. Im super new and not sure how to handle this. Should I put her back in with the others or keep her separated and reintroduce later?
Pic is after I cleaned her up fom laying on poops.
