What is the longest time for your female's to give birth afther ovulation?

I have a female that had a ovulation on 11/13.
She was on the heat 24/7 since.
Then a couple off weeks ago she was on the cold side.
She had 2 poo's that week, then she was back on the heat for a week.
On friday she was back on the cold side, but still no babies

No she is back on the heat again, the mass is going down in here tail but no contractions.
She without food for over 160day's now and is going very thin.
It was raining and snowing this weekend, and i was hoping she give birth.
But nothing here, i'm gooing crazy now.

Must i make an appointment at the vet or wait a couple more day's ?

Hope you all can help me on this, what is the best thing to do.

I'm going through the exact same thing. My female albino was due around the 11th or 12th and still hasnt given me anything. All of the babies are pushed down and waiting on mom to skirt them out. Is it possible just to pick her up and sqeeze them out of her LOL.

Do you have a birthing tub available?? My females seem to like it. They used them every year since I started using them. No clean up or having to fight Momma, just pull the tub right out and you got the babies.

Marc that looks like a great idea, I did put aspen bedding in her cage this year.This is the first time I've tried anything besides newspaper when having babies. Your idea looks great less cleanup and no fussing with the mother good job. By the way my female is cruising around her cage as I write this with rain on the way later so I hope to be looking at some babies tonight.

thanks mike

Thanks for the comments
I have a box in there with the female.
But she was in it only once, now i have put a dark box over it.
So hope she will go in there and push those babies out

Can't wait to have my hands on some new born babies.

Here are some photo's of here at this moment.
You can see the mass is down in here tail.
Not a big litter but that is no problem, i need that female in my breeding plans for the future

I bet you put one in there you will have babies. If she is cruising the cage she is looking for a safe place to put those babies. Good luck.

I am going crazy as well Gr Erwin...

Boas do whatever they want to do no matter how good a job you do in raising them, just like kids. Some do the right thing(s). Others are an embarrassment...

Jeff it's nice to hear i'm not the only one with this going on.
But this is the first time i make a chance on a healthy litter.
Last season i only had slugs and 3 premies.
So i was counting to 125 post ovulation and was so happy.
A chance on some healthy babies and now this is going on

Also no second ovualtion or POS for this female.
If i only got here back on to food i was very happy.
She is nice, i dont want to lose here.
