After a feed..........is this normal????????

HI all, This may be a stupid question but i can't help but worry that something is not right.
We fed Queenie on Sunday and all went fine, she took them no problems.
I defrosted them in a jar of warm/hot water till they were defrosted.
I have noticed yesterday and today that she has like a bumpy corrogated effect on one side and right where the 2nd rat pup is.
Is this bumpy corrogated look normal after a feed?
If this dose come across to some as a silly question, i'm sorry but i've always found this site to be wealth of knowledge.
Thanks (be kind)

A picture might help, I think it sound normal but its hard to say not knowing exactly what you mean by corrugated.

There are definate bumps about half way down her body, right where the rat pup is sitting.
The bumps seem to get a bit bigger when she breathes in and smaller when she exhales.
She seems normal enough, only had a short time.
She is doing wee but hasn't pooped , but i guess that will come.
Back to her bumps, it's like 3-4 bumps in a space of about 5cm max. like this ______n_n_n______
body ^ bumps body

not the best diagram, i'll attempt to take a photo. :mrgreen:

I'd imagine it is just the shape of the pinkies making those bumps. It's most common when more than one meal is eaten at once.

It's not legs or feet, it is simply the way her stomach is settling as the pinkies digest. Often seen a few days after a big feed.

As long as you are leaving her be and letting her digest in peace, no picking her up, all will be fine.
