Is it noticeable to see when a female is producing follicles?? I have had 8 litters and have witnessed ovulation but never really paid attention when it came to the follicle part. Im only asking cause this is my second season pairing my motley poss het anery to my anery to see if he proves out. Last year nothing happened, this year seem the same cause I paired them up oct 1st and he was all over her for 3 months then stopped for some time so I thought here we go again missed another year on this project. I ended up putting him back in march 1st and hes been on her since, about a week after I put him in the female looked really swollen through out her body like she was full of babies for about 3 days then went away. Could this be she was producing follicles at that time?? He is still courting her now. Could I possibly see a ovulation this time if that was the case?
Thanks

Follicle question

It sounds like you saw pre ovulation swelling(follicle development and maturing) .
I'm thinking you should be seeing some sort of ovulation or it already occurred.
When the male looses interest this time it should be an indication.
Sometimes they don't ovulation those big foot ball sized ovulations.
Many times its a slow moving process(SMO) hard to detect,but
noticeable if you understand what's happening.
