We recently (tuesday) found a pinky in a parking lot about to be run over. Got him home, warmed up, electrolytes in him, and he's been eating and pottying fine ever since.
I've worked in zoos with tons of exotics and bottle raised babies but this whole pinky thing is a new world for me!! So any help and tips are appreciated!
I read about the clicking and that makes me nervous. I hear a slight click during feeding times but a couple mins after he's done I don't hear it anymore. Should I worry about pneumonia?
HOW do I maintain a regular temp with this heating pad? I keep a thermometer down with him and it seems to fluctuate a good bit. Also, what is the right temp it should stay at?
Today I did worry a little about his belly. His underside looks like I can see his intestines on the inside. I realize he's a pinky and basically transparent but they didn't look lumpy like that yesterday. He's pooping and peeing very regularly so I don't feel that it's constipation or anything.
The picture with the arrow is the "lumpy" I was referring to. The picture is sort of hard to tell, but it is very faint at the moment.
