I thought she was goin into shed but now I dont think she is. She has never climbed into her water bowl to shed in 3 years so I think your right about the building. My other female just shed on 3/24/11 and has been on the hotspot for a week and today she was on the cool side and swollen like a water balloon (ovulation) and already and back on the hotspot after wards. Its getting to the point that I think they are just messing with me or playing some sort of bad aprils fools joke on me. Thanks for the input.
