Congrats Robin, I'm so excited for you. You better have a comfy spot on the floor because it's a LONG road still. ;)

I've had them go up to 24 hours or so.
On some of my really really calm animals I can reach in and lift on up on the females tail just slightly, and see if the males tail is connected and moves with the females...
Remember though, you can freak them out and hurt your male, so I can't really recommend it. Either they're hooked up or they aren't, knowing it doesn't change anything... :)

Justin hit the nail on the head, and beat me too it. What he described is what I was talking about when I said I sometimes take a closer look. I also like Justin's warning in the last paragraph. If you attempt this, be very gentle.

Well, I'm certainly not interested in "breaking" Oliver - so I'll just have to assume that he's getting the job done! :D
Re: Not a Lock - But in the Right Zipcode

Woo! Go Oliver! Get some! :D
Re: Not a Lock - But in the Right Zipcode
Don't know how I missed this thread but awesome! I'm happy for you :) Good luck on some eggies
Re: Not a Lock - But in the Right Zipcode
Thanks everyone! No locks when I got home yesterday or last night before I went to bed, so I'm assuming that Oliver is done this session. Out tomorrow and back in on Tuesday! :D
