So I've been thinking my hoggie female is gravid, but I'm not sure. She's gained about 100g in weight, and is spending most of her time on the heating pad.



I only witnessed her locking up with a male once, so I'm not sure if she's fertile or not.



Also wondering, between copulation and laying, is there only one shed (the pre-lay shed) or can a female hoggie shed multiple times? My big girl that I believe may be gravid just shed and I'm wondering if I should be expecting eggs in a week, or if I might have to wait for another shed cycle.
