I know the average is suppost to be 16-23 days, but how quickly could it happen? Is 10 or 11 days too soon? And, other than being a more slowly progressing shed cycle, are there any other differences from a normal shed?

Also, does the female thin out after the ovulation swell spreads out, or does she remain swollen for the duration of the gravidity?
Anyone???

depending on alot of factors, such as the females size and weight, her age, what her current cage or ambient temp are. The time between the ovulation and pos can be between 20-25 days on average.

My normal female just shed 20 days after ovulation.
My albino female has gone as little as 14 days, and is currently on day 9 after ovulation, and hazing over. She has gone as many as 22 days.
It varies.

My girl just shed 11 days after what I think was ovulation. She never wend completely blue, her eyes just got kind of hazy. It was about 2 weeks before I would have expected it.
Could it be???
