>>Hindsights 20/20 but looking back at my slug out this season both are indictive of mine.
>>
>>My female had lower body temps almost at room temp, last season she maintained at least a few degrees above. Room temps in the mid 80's or the cool side of the cage. When I measured last year it was like you swallowed a heat pack and was maintaing high tmeps even off heat.
>>
>>Also the lumpy look, while she never appeared lumpy, the slugs weren't really full term. Almost like she just didn't want to re-absorb them, rather just throw them and move on. She did birth 4 stills so maybe the late season combined with less than ideal conditions made her have a premature litter. By count she was almost 30 days early....

>>Like I said hindsights 20/20...but I agree sometimes we really should go with our gut feeling.


Yeah, but then again, my gut was telling me my DH Snow was packing nothing or slugs and you know what lil surprises popped outa her!!!!

She was looking/acting just like two others that slugged/preemied out. Only difference was she went 103 days POS vs weeks early. That and 4 nice lil babies!!! All ar edoing fine BTW!! With the Moonglow being the healthiest IMO!!!
