I've heard of a waxy stool prior to birthing, but have never seen one, as I have always used aspen for expecting moms. This time, however, I am using newspaper...
A couple of days ago she let go of a small urate and these small things (I never would have noticed them buried in aspen):
Warning - Images are MUCH smaller than they appear

It doesn't look like wax or have the consitancy of wax, but it doesn't look normal either.

Seems like they plant the stuff where they know it will be hardest to get up too! Andy

freeze dry them and send them over night. I make jewelry out of those. Check my website for my upcoming sale....
You mean like these:
But, the gold nuggets will be much nicer looking! That is so sweet of you to do that! Can I get 10% off the top, when you sell them, as a "finders fee"?
