big drink..

mack1time Feb 10, 2007 02:28 PM

I just noticed my large female taking a 10 minute long drink of water. She sucked the dish clean and I refilled it for her.After the refill she drank for another solid 5 minutes.

I have seen them drink before but never for this long and especially repeatadly. Please note I always change water every 2 days just wanted to share the experiance.

Did you bred her this year?

Im not sure if she has bred yet. Although she has been with the male since november. But for the last 2 weeks the male has eased off and moved to the cold side.

usually means ovulation is coming soon. Keep the male in there and look for a swallowed football. Dont take the male out until after the post ovulation shed.
