In your video you mention you used the doppler on 8 animals, and you heard something on all but 1 which was due in 5 weeks.

My question is- on the other 7 you did hear something on- are any of them 5 weeks or longer before due or all 4 weeks and under?

I have a female here that is just over 5 weeks until due and I can not find a thing. I did read a post that says they were able to hear from 8 to 10 weeks out. But I was not able.

On top of that my hearing is pretty bad. However I could hear it perfect on your video. Hope I am not hearing the sad song of slugs!

All the rest are females I feel confident will have lots of babies on or about their due dates. All of them are due by June 5th at the latest. So that's almost three weeks out from when I did the check on them. I didn't try very hard on any of them. It was very easy to find them. I actually spent less than 30 minutes max to move around and check all eight of those females. Each one gave me heartbeats in less than a minute. The one I did not get them on, is not due for five weeks. She is NOT one I am confident about. At this point I am expecting half a litter of babies and half slugs. At least that is what I am hoping for. She did not want to sit still choosing to crawl all over the place when I was trying to get a reading. I hope that helps!

I went back in and tried again, this time I found them!!

I was only able to find two but I am hoping there are more. She started to get mad after a few tries so I moved on.

Congrats on getting confirmation. Now you can sleep a little easier.
