Its a spinal deformity. Its common when incubator temperatures fluctuate too much. Its pretty minor, so she should make a fine pet and live a long healthy life.

When you hold her it is almost like a muscle or rib problem. When she lays flat her body flattens out alot. More then the rest of my little ones. The spine isnt twisted or anything like that and when you run your finger on it there are no bumps or anything like that on it. Could it be maybe the ribcage folded under in that spot? Thanks for advice!!!

Only real way to know just what the spine or ribs are doing in that spot, is to get her x-rayed.
