Is this the Heat Conservation Position?

voodoomagik May 27, 2010 07:48 PM

Hey, guys,

I can't quite get a bead on what's going on with this girl and was hoping to get your opinions. As far as the other girls from this season-I think I pretty much know where they are.

The male bred her very intensely for months on end-from December until a few weeks ago. She's a thick girl so I can't really tell. This would be her first litter though not her first attempt at breeding.

What do you think?
Is this the Heat Conservation Position?

Thanks in advance!
Aaron

Like you said, she looks like a big girl so that is a hard one. She does not look that tucked but it is hard to say with one pic. Watch her behavior over the next few weeks and if she is constantly stuck in that sort of position, I think you could feel comfortable that she is all wrapped up and the wait can start. She looks good.

Thank you for the response!
I'm glad you see what I mean! Those where the exact thoughts I had and it has been driving me NUTS!
You're exactly right, I'm just going to keep watching. 100 days from her last shed would be June 4th. I believe that might have been her POS. If she doesn't either shed again or have any babies by the end of June, I'm going to assume she didn't go this season and start feeding.
Thank you again for your response!

Hi!
Thank you for the response!
I fed her at the end of October-so 7 months ago.
If there's anything in there, it's not food!
Thank you again for your response!
