Ow!
So Vega is my little blue and white rat doe who is EXTREMELY pregnant. Well, I walked in there yesterday and saw she was bleeding a bit and was beginning to nest - and given the timeline is perfect I figured well she's probably in labor.
So what did I do? I reached in to rearrange her bedding.
Now, for those of you who have not yet experienced labor, it's not something you necessarily want anyone to touch you during. Vega obviously felt the same way. She flung herself at me and got the end of my ring finger on my right hand. Her back teeth caught and held, her front teeth didn't puncture the skin.
She ground her teeth, bit down twice more and released. Her back teeth entered the right side of the pad of my finger and broke skin, exited, the left side. It is GNARLY.
Still hurts like a cow and it's all crusted over, the finger is swollen, and I can't stop poking at it.
