This girl we do not have any info on as she came gravid and apparently was just bred prior to being shipped to us. She arrived here on March 24th and has not fed since. She did feed a week before that. She shed on June 4th and almost acted like she was going to drop then. However, the mass of babies was still rather large at her rear. Over the next week or so the mass got a lot smaller and somewhat evened out over her body. Now over the past week they seem to be moving down to her tail again. By these sounds and the info we have any guesses as to when she may drop?

This pic was taken last night....

and one of the mountains of shavings she keeps making....

Thanks and any replies are much appreciated. Have a great father's day.

July 28th give or take five days. I can't tell you how i know. It's a little like the guys who do the Farmers Almanac. They don't tell how they so accurately predict the weather either.

DId you mean June 28th? That would put her here for 98 days. July 28th well, that would be closer to 130. We were thinking by the end of the month.

5 days?? That gives you a big window Ol' Man! I say July 5th-10th. No give or take just a five day window! Care to wager?

After redoing some math! I'd say your 28th guess is more on. So, i'm gonna say the 28th of June to 3rd of July. Should've known better then to second guess El Jeffe!

Actually so far Ruben, Jeff has never said if he meant June 28th or July 28th like he said. We were saying that the 28th of June would put her here for about 100 days. Jeff never said if he meant June or not.

The ONLY shed date given was June 4th. I am unfamiliar with the mathematical process that determines there are 100 days between those two dates.

Now if there was another shed date that we were not given, then the guesstimate that I made is based upon misleading information.

We had said that she came on March 24th and went into the heat conservation position. The male apparently copulated with her before we got them and was removed when they were shipped to us on March 23rd. The male has not been with her since. We did not have an ovulation date or post ovulation shed. The shed on June 4th came when we thought she was close to dropping not a post ovulation shed.
If you read the first post again, we said that from March 24th to June 28th was almost a hundred days of her being here and in gestation. Just thought we would clarify that.
