First clutch...................

RinL Sep 30, 2004 07:22 PM

my female brb is having her first clutch. so far 3 slugs and 3live babies,with one stillborn. my question is over what period of time will she give birth. the above babies were born this morning. she has not had anymore as of tonight. however,she still looks like she has more inside. how long does it usually take. is this unusual. thanks. rin

rin,
...When mine lay litters that are all live babies they almost always lay them in less than an hour. When there are slugs in the litter they often have trouble delivering. If you soak her in a large tub of barely warm water she may get some hydration which along with the movement can help her to lay the rest of the litter.
Good luck,
Jeff
