    is she ovulating?

    ok so i started pairing my 2 love birds (BP's not actual birds.. :-))
    early sept. end of august i think... locked up right away...

    and right before they had locked up she shed...

    gained 500grams since..
    and is now in shed...
    shows no interest in him... anymore...
    and i guess because she is blue, wont eat...
    but she's always eaten while in shed in the past.....
    and now is going 1 week and 3 days no feed,
    and 2 poops....
    no weight loss but 50 grams weight gain in the past week... after pooping.

    whats going on?
    is it just the weight gain thats why she is shedding?
    i dont know how to palpate, i mean i know how, but dont KNOW what it is im feeling. it all feels like muscles...

    i've seen the vids on how to.
    but i guess till it happens i wont know what im feeling for.

    i'll shut up now. thanks.

    A picture would help.

    However, I doubt it. It's too soon. She's still eating, and she's refusing the male and food because of a shed.

    It's very early in the season, and she's probably going to eat a lot to prepare for eggs, that's the weight gain.

    Building will be gradual, but noticeable, same with the behavior.

    Ovulation is hard to miss.

    Patience.

    not till late june did she start pounding...
    she's long, and still a slittle slender.
    but i do see the building. thanks again!

    I got the same question.. On my first breeding experience... And one said.. If she ovulating .. Trust me you will know that she is ..

    But it's true... You can just see it! It's like she swallowed a sewer rat...
