Did I get her due date wrong?

drasticplastic Jun 28, 2011 01:05 PM

According to my math (and that has proven to be wrong on many occasions hah) I have my female albino girl due on June 16th. Still no babies as of today though. She looks like she MAY be making her nest and getting things ready but we'll see. Here are the records I have for her this year.

Introduced 11/25/10
Separated To Feed 12/30/10 (ate)
Fed 01/10/11 (ate)
Re-Introduced 01/16/11
Separated To Feed 02/18/11 (ate)
Shed 03/03/11
Re-Introduced 03/04/11
Separated To Feed 03/25/11 (ate)
Offered Food 04/08/11 (ate)
Offered Food 05/08/11 (ate)
Offered Food 06/03/11 (refused)

Last year she was 9 days late according to my math so it could just be her. Anyway, let me know what you guys think and when or if I should start to worry. Thanks in advance.

Does this mean you did not observe an ovulation? Because if not, that shed date you must be working from may not have anything to do with when she is due. Also, were there any other shed dates after the one you listed here?

Hey Jeff. Nope, no ovulation observed....not that I was 100% certain anyway. She only shed the one time since they were put together. Right now she looks like the classic deflated tire, and has been moving her substrate up the side of her body. So I hope that's positive. I'm not too worried about her delivering or when, I know it's coming, I was just concerned of how many days late she was based on her shed....if that was in fact her POS. Oh well, the wait continues.

The ovulation would help lock in the date but without it that shed would be a due date of 06/16 by my math.

I have motley Ghosts due next week, Sun by OV or Thu by Shed.

My glow litter went 110 days...

I have found in my BRB's lower temp = longer gestation.

She actually gave birth today sometime between 9am and 1pm. She gave me 16 babies and 1 slug, I'm worried about one baby making it though by they way it's laying around. Thanks for reply guys, I appreciate it.
