ovulation?

mike31 Dec 07, 2003 01:49 PM

just wanted to know how long after you remove your males does ovulation take place,and how long does it usually last,both my females have been bred,or should i say i seen copulation,my first female swelled up and stayed that way for a week and a half and has went back to normal size as of yesterday,the second one is swelled up as we speak,i assume this is ovulation but the male has been away from them for at least three to four weeks each,how long after do they usually shed and start to swell from being gravid,sorry for such a long post.

I would put the males back in there asap and leave them in there until you are SURE they have no more interest period. They will know if they have crossed all their t's and dotted all their i's.

It's better to be safe than sluggy.
