please continue to help a new bee out... exciting times!

Ok, one of my big females, I am almost certain is prego. I say this because:

1.) She has been locking up every other week since November.
2.) She is getting fatter and fatter in the mid section even though she has not eaten in over a month. She definately now looks like she has eaten a HUGE rat... However it doesn't really look "football shaped"
3.) She is ABSOLUTELY glowing. Today when I looked at her I had to double check the tub because for a second I though I was looking at another SUPER light normal that I have! litterally overnight without shedding she has become many shades lighter then she ever was been before.

So here is the quesiton. I last paired her up 10 days ago, and they were locked up for about 24 hours. At this point if she is prego, isn't she supposed to stop locking up?! What do I do now? the nomal rotation with the male is coming up in 2 days. Should I put him in with her again? Any help here would be GREATLY appreciated!

Mike

Put him in again. If he is no longer interested, that is a sign. :)

Lets see some pics of her Mike!

Yeah mike where's the pics man??

i will take an picture, but I can't find any old pictures of her to compare the color change to! working on pic now.

Ok, here she is. Can't find an older pic to compare her to. She is normally my darkest normal, and does NOT normally have a brown head!!!! I would say she is probably twice as fat now compared to when she stopped eating over a month ago... But I don't see the "football shaped" bulge that I am seeing in some of these other pictures...

I prefer to use the Miller Light can as a measurement, a little more reliable.

Looks like she is building follicles now. I would keep breeding her until she ovulates. Good luck.

will do! question tho... doesn't the glowing come after the building of the folicles?

Sorry about my size comparison tool... Could have used something else but this is a family forum... :8:

Very cool, best of luck . Now drink the beer :carouse::carouse::carouse::carouse:

They glow when they are close to ovulation (while building.) She will most likely ovulate between now and a month and a half. This is a crucial time to make sure the eggs are fertilized.

Good luck!

thats a definate glow, when she forsure ovulates you have about a month till the pre-lay shed then about another month till she lays, i would suggest you keep pairing until she is no longer interested in the males
