does waxy stool mean babies soon??

Odin22 Dec 14, 2007 09:57 PM

Hi

One of my females, the one I believe isn't due until January 13, and whose last urates were 2 months ago, and last poop 10 weeks or so, just passed a whole lotta poop and urates. When I last posted worried about feeding while gravid, someone mentioned that waxy stool may come before the babies--- but how much before the babies?? Can I relax knowing that my baby isn't constipated, or should I be wondering if she's going to be giving birth in the next week or at any time earlier than her intended Jan 13?

Wanting a whole lotta healthy babies...in their own time,
Antigone

She will cruise around the cage for a couple of days before she lays them so watch her when she is restless and don't feed
