    What is going on with this girl?

    Ok, I know that this is not an ovy because she's been looking like this the past week. So I'm just looking for opinions as to what's going on since this is my first season. I can't seem to palpate this gal either. The specs: she's been pairing with a bumblebee since June (first lock @ 12/1/14) but lately the male has failed to achieve locks with her since their last lock @ 1/25/14 (he's still locking with others). She is 3840g (today) empty and have refused a couple of meals here & there (unusual as she is my garbage disposal). She last shed 2/10/14.

    I have posted a photo of her; one with her next to a paper towel tube, and one of her tail showing the concave look that she's been sporting for at least a week. She had a me rat on 2/15/14. (Btw, this is Pansy, my biggest and one of my favorite girls)





    Thanks!

    Looks like she's building... When you suspect an ovy, If you lift her like in the last pic you will notice a V shaped grouve running along the underside. That's one way to tell besides the obvious swelling. Trust me when they say you'll know it when you see it... Best of luck, I'm on my second year breeding. Started with only 1 breeding now this year I'm breeding 3 females. Normals only but I love them all the same.

    Palpation can be a tricky thing sometimes. A week ago i didnt feel anything in our het pied female and now i feel 7 marble sized follicles. Ahe might be building. Just check her wveryday and see what happens. Its our 3rd season!

    She's building towards ovy right now! She's glowing so bright that I've discovered that she has a head stamp. And she looks like she's she's had a large meal even though she hasn't eaten. Yay!
