Pre Ov Shed/Post Ov Shed/Pre Lay Shed???

nipro_style Mar 20, 2011 05:40 AM

Can someone explain me what are those three things mean?
And in what order does it take?
I only know that after a pre lay shed (by the way, how can I know its it?) about 30 days, a female should lay her eggs...
10q!

Post ovulation shed and prelay shed are the same thing. You'll know it if you see her ovulate. It's very easy to recognize when they ovulate. Look at the post below to see what one look like when they ovulate. I just had a pastel ovulate. It looked like she ate a large rat even though she hasn't eaten since Nov. They'll also have a "tail pinch" that shows constriction towards the end of her tail. Chris Hall
