kinked tails during ovulation?

Do females tails always kink at the bottom during ovulation? Do the kink before or after the pre-lay shed? I have a female that I saw ovulate for 2 days and I think she is in a pre-lay shed now but what is up with the tail thing I see on the net. It is driving me nuts this is my first year need help!

Hi,

I'm not sure what you mean?

Do you mean kink like the spinal deformity seen in caramels? If so then no they shouldn't do that at all. :O

The tail change most often talked about with ovulation is the "tail suck" which simply means the tail looks as though all the fat has been sucked out of it and that only lasts during the 12-24 hours of the ovulation itself from the few examples I have seen here.

One of my females has huuuuuuuuge builds which tricks me every single year. :oops:

But it does mean I have pictures to show the difference in the tail during the real ovulation. These pics are from 2008 but she did it to me again in 2009. :rolleyes:

And 8 days later she started her pre-lay shed - you can see her tail is back to the usual fattbutt. :giggle:

Sorry for the wording I meant tail suck not kink. This female in question has been breeding sense mid October after her shed 2 months ago she was glowing and then about 2-3 weeks ago I saw the mid body swell that lasted about 1-2 days till the swell went back down. Now she is back in shed do you think this is the pre-lay shed? During the mid body swell I did not pay attention to the tail suck I thought that came a later time.

There ya go ''tail suck'' not kink, yes it is quite normal for a female to do this while she is developing.

Sounds like a pre lay shed to me
