The pre-birth "waxy stool" IMO is natures way of clearing the pipes of any nastyness right before passing the babies through the same general area.

I believe it's called a "waxy stool" because for obvious reasons it does not look like a normal stool.


With your lower shipping temps, these couple of weeks (ish) of extra time sound totally normal. Get out the slime bucket and prep the baby rack, the litter should be here soon!!!!!
