10am: i notice on the left side of her jaw is bleeding... (look like someone when got punched on sides) and the was on the 2nd floor of the cage.. i find it weird as she looks weak... then i put my hand as a ladder and she walk down.. now she's eating at the bowl there, and then walk around... the way she walks like she have trouble with her back legs..

well, i might put a cardboard, but its not necessary tho... i am guessing her injury is caused by excessive chewing on the bars... but, after so many months only get injured?? not sure lah... i am also thinking if there are still food inside her cheek, which she always keep... maybe the food is rotten thus causing her jaw to rot as wel... sigh

oh, thanks for pointing it out to me hun... or else i really dont know what to do next.. ok, will house her elsewhere first.. and i think i should remove the solid foods, and give her only soft foods... any specific kind of food i should give her to help her to recover faster?

looks like winterwhite.. but looks abit mix breed , but he/she looks cool

to make it tame, first step is to hand feed them
