    Overexcited first time hoggy breeder!

    I picked up a couple 2009 red het for albino hogs last August and am impatiently waiting for eggs! They bred on Memorial Day and since then my female has blown up to an incredible 680g! She looks so uncomfortable and unwieldy already and I assume we has a couple weeks left to go before laying. She got a lay box today and I'm super excited about hopefully raising some babies!

    Any advice or suggestions would be highly appreciated!

    Here she is last week:



    And today:

    She looks like she is ready to blow! With a lay box in there, the only other advice I have is to fire up the incubator and make sure it is good and ready for all those eggs.

    Thermostat gets here tomorrow and incubator should be ready to fly by Sunday! Her face is starting to look a bit ashy so I'm hoping her pre-lay shed is less than a week away. She's amazingly still aggressively eating 2 15g mice every other day and continuing to expand...I might need another hatchling rack....at least I hope I do!!

    So I assume this goes without saying, but you'll be posting pics right? You know you want to show off those babies It'll be a few years before our first hoggie clutch, so I need to live vicariously through y'all on here!!!

    She's getting super fat 18 days after first visit with her boyfriend. He was with her for about 24 hours the first time and 7 days later for another 12 hours. I'm so nervous that I didn't leave him in there long enough for good fertility after reading some other folks stuff!! She's expanding rapidly and was 720g when I weighed her today! These next 10 days or so of waiting are going to be torture!!

    Believe me if there are babies I will be taking and posting TONS of pictures!!!!!!!
