    Weird but I have to ask...

    Ok so I have this normal girl that I got last season she laid 3 slugs late last season like July or aug well I started to introduce my male mojave to her on a schedule of 2 days in 8 days off I saw 3 locks from him i know the signs of building and I know what a ovulation looks like but this girl has been glowing for 3-4 weeks and laying on her side for about the same amount of time I never saw her wrap her bowl and I have not seen a ovulation at all but she has gone off feed also and the males have no interest but it has only been 6-7 months since she last laid so my first question is are we (meaning the whole breeding community) sure a ball cannot double clutch or maybe lay half there eggs at one time and the rest a few months later? I do not know much about this girl I picked her up around may of last year my other question is is I have never had a girl lay once late and then early the next year has anyone had this happen? I know most of my girls lay around the same time every year bur have never seen one lay but maybe a month earlyer than the year befor not this many months difference

    I have a very big female that has been glowing for a month and is laying inverted and is recently doing a lot of bowl wrapping. The boys dont want anything more to do with her either. I know she hasn't ovy'd yet, so I believe she is just focusing on building her eggs and what not. I dunno, but she is the only one that this has happened to me with. As far as her being ready to lay again in such a short time, I have heard of it before. I think it depends on the girl and how big she is. There may be something to her laying slugs and not using as much fat storage because they slugged out

    I have no clue she's around 1600-1800g last time I weighed her so I'm just confused with how she's acting

    Not to be picky, but she can't be building eggs if she hasn't ovulated yet, only follicles that may become eggs if she does ovy.

    To the OP - If she's glowing, just keep offering food, trying to pair, and watching her. Mine seem to stop glowing when they ovulate.

    I agree Anna but I've never seen a girl act like she is he probly the bet feeder I have and only refuses to eat after ovulation and I threw my best breeder to her and he wouldn't even lock and I've seen that boy lock with a Gravid girl and I think he means building follicles not eggs alot of people refer to building as building eggs just saying
