Interesting ....

Is the photo above her pushing them down and out?
Looks like some upper body contractions going on?

The pic is from just before slug number 4. Not sure what you mean mate ... she was pushing downward in periodic waves and would start from her mid section adjusting to where the slugs started.
Hoping to post a vid tomorrow

so pretty much what they do no matter if they are alive or not.

Reminds me of squeezing toothpaste or frosting through a tube.

She just took a small meal ... I may wait and let her digest this for an extra day me thinks ... poor girl looked like she needed it.

and still munching.

Suzy update - she hates water. I can't be sure if these bumps I'm feeling are actually retained slugs. Gentle massaging the bump near the cloaca has yielded no results leading me to believe I'm just feeling swollen tissue from the birthing process.
At any rate, for lack of someone experienced close by, she'll be making a vet visit next week.

Hoping for the best. It should be rock solid if it's retained eggs.

I expect my tetrataenia to throw her yearly slugs soon and she had a bit of trouble last year. I'm also checking my vagrans every few days, just in case she retained some, but so far so good.

Cheers crossing fingers.

Too bad about the slugs. Glad mom is doing OK.
Great background music.
It was nice of the members of your group to cut a birthing track for the video
