getting ready to ovulate????

NUCCIZ_BOAS Dec 24, 2007 01:40 PM

Either I caught the ending of her ovulation, or she is just getting ready to. The male stopped breeding her 2 days ago after breeding almost non-stop since October 12th. She has had a slight swelling for the last few days, but today looked a little bit bigger, so either this was it, or its coming. A few more pics off the new camera I seem to have stolen from the girlfriend after I gave it to her for christmas. haha Hopefully Sunglow Arabesques are on the way......

Based on my limited experience, and your description I'd say she ovulated, and you are seeing the tail end of it. My males don't lose interest until the ovulation. They keep going through the follicular development, all the way till she ovulates, then they lose interest.

Just leave them be for now. They'll make it clear when they are done with each other.
