Birthing is messy and smelly. Just keep in mind that wherever she delivers will need to be cleaned, so everyone will have to be moved somewhere clean once it's over.

Interesting comment Steveo.
I'll agree it's messy but have never associated it with any kind of odor. I'll have to do more sniffing during delivery.

Mama smelled like tortilla chips when she was giving birth, but she always smells like them... Especially after shedding. And Pumpkin smelled like pumpkin seeds when he was born, which is why his name is pumpkin seed. Those are the only two smells I've smelled when birthing was going on.

I didn't notice any smell with Willows delivery last year either.

Woke today to a shed in her tank. Babies soon, fingers crossed.

Good luck to ya! How long after shed do they usually give birth?

[guidofatherof5]

I would say that's unknown for the most part. I have some that give birth a day or so after a shed and others that give birth weeks after a shed.
I've never seen a real pattern to it.
Just my opinion.

Alright, I appreciate the insight

Good luck Dan. My girl just shed today too.
