Is it possible to have a female ovulate twice? I have a female thats small 1300g. She went through the glow at the end of Feb and started building the first of March. I thought she ovulated on March 8th. It was a long ovulation 3-4 days. Then I decided to throw the bumble bee in for good measure. They locked up immediately for 2 days. She never lost the glow and yesterday she was starting to swell again. This morning she was swelled up almost to full ovulation. She had the tail pinch and everything. Also she hasn't ate since Jan 10th. Any ideas. Thanks Chris

did she go thru her ovulation shed

I think I read that they have two oviducts so you could witness two ovulations...

I'm not sure if they can ovulate twice I have never heard of it before. Maybe you just thought it was as she was building.

Best of Luck

I have seen girls that got so large it looks like they are ovulating - but then do a real ovulation a week or so later - since all the eggs end up being laid at the same time I'm guessing it's not a double ovulation just a really big build followed by ovulation. I've got one girl that does it every season - I've learned to start counting from the second one.
