I need help or advice. I have a breeding pair and this is their third time having joeys. Each time has been fine. First time- one female. Second time- 2 males. This time- one of each. They are 6 weeks OOP now.

I checked on the joeys like I always do and the female is very weak. They were both sort of cold because the parents had both been eating. So I held them close to warm them up. But the female still wouldn’t move much.

I’ve been trying to help her for 2 hours warning her up, seeing if she will take honey water. But she just lays with her eyes half open, softly breathing.

I don’t know what to do! And the vets are closed as it is 2am my time. Please help!

Did you manage to keep her alive until you saw a vet?
Sorry, I dont check this forum as frequently anymore.
I’d love to know the outcome — and it’d help others in your situation to know as well.
I would’ve recommended pedialyte or diluted gatorade to help her overnight until a vet could be seen in the morning.

Have the parents been paying attention to them? If they're cold it could be that they rejected the babies
