Sounds about right to me. This girl, as I say, is 65 days in to her gestation. Giving her about 7 to 10 days to slough will being her to 75, so with the 30 to 35 days post slough puts her right on target for babies.
Thanks for the confirmation. I just wanted some varification as I have observed this in the past, but without my records, I could not be 100% sure of how many days prior to parturition the female sloughed.
Thanks again,

Warren
