Hi Guys,

My BSH queen Blossom had a litter (her first) they are now 8 and a half weeks. At what age do you let your girls back outside in their pens? Blossom seems ready for a break from them and she isnt feeding them anymore (even though they try she brushes them off) She has obviously lost weight and a bit of condition and I would love to stat building her up again. Would it help if she went back outside?

Let me know what you all think and what you do with your own queens. Many Thanks

Well I don't normally have Mums in pens (though with the current state of relations in my house that might have to change ) but yes, you can certainly put her back out for periods now if you want to, mine start wanting to spend time away from the kittens quite early on (in one case, even going for a wander round in between kittens when she's giving birth!)

Minnii has been going out into her run (not a pen - she lives in the house) for about an hour a day since the kitten was about a week old. It does her good, she begs for her time out there and wee one doesn't even know she has gone.

Thanks everyone, my queens live inside most of the time and go out into their runs/pens. She does go off for breaks upstairs but I have a 5month old kitten myself who loves chasing her around shes getting a bit short with her think I may try her outside for a couple of hours 2morro see how she goes.

Whats happening at your liz? Have you got a lot of litters at the moment?
