She's getting closer!

They just finished a lock this morning so I pulled the male to give him a break (he's dating two girls this season). She is definitely getting closer to ovulation. She just seems miserable and her belly has an obvious pudge to it. I just looked at their breeding card and I wrote down that I witnessed 8 locks since 11/12/10 when I first introduced them. There were at least 2-3 other locks that I didn't write down because I had lost their card. So 10+ locks and this is her today.

And her glow is starting to fade. I feel like she might be going into shed soon. She is still refusing meals. She's refused two so far. I've got my fingers crossed.

Found this tonight. Ovulation?

It turned out to be an ovulation. She was huge yesterday. So now I wait for the prelay shed. It's been a while since I had a female ovulate. Isn't it around 16 days till pre lay shed and 20-something after that till eggs?

Congrats!

I was told it's about 10-14 days til prelay shed, then about 30 days until she lays after that.
