Happy Time(the lock-up)

[guidofatherof5]

She's a first time breeder for me as she came to me as a rescue last year. She's only 40 days from conception and has gained 84 grams.

Keeping a very close eye on her.
I'm hoping for a large group of hets. or a smaller group of larger babies.
I'll be happy with either and that Daisy stays safe.

Here's that video.

I remember feeling just like her about a year ago
I couldn't walk 5' without wanting to sit down and then I couldn't get up.
And I still had 10 weeks to go until the baby was born (4 weeks prematurely)

Daisy's been acting kind of strange this evening. Part of her midsection was hanging out of the warm hide and it looked like she couldn't get comfortable.
I watched her about 5 minutes and then lifted the hide to see what was going on. It looks like she having some contractions and pushing the babies down.
She did eat a couple smaller worms earlier so maybe it's digestion related.
I'm not sure she can get much bigger.
She's only 41 days into this so I don't think she could be ready to deliver.
Anyone out there had any short (40-50 day) gestation periods?

Any chance it could have actually been longer? She's awfully big to be only 40 days or so.

No. Her weight gain only began after conception.

Looks like she going into a shed.

She's getting close to doubling her weight. Can't say I've ever had one do that.
Tonight.

and she refused food for the first time since conception.
She's definitely on the delivery watch list even though she's only
52 days into it. She's been spending a lot of time under the warm hide.
She still gets around pretty good but to hold her she feels like she could pop.
