Hi folks.
Happy new year to you all, hope everyone had a good a time as you could in these uncertain times.
I am a little confused, and could do with some advice from people who have bread these before.
Up untill now, thought everything was going well, but now... I, do not... know!
Please note that I'm in the UK. It is currently winter here.
So, I started to (in September) cool my Woma pair, in October paired them; Was 6ft when i got her and is 7 now.
Male, is around 5 years old (and was a virgin male, but sevral sucseful locks noted
Begining of October (almost within a week of mating) felt her producing folicles, November - December felt 8 all within a few weeks! palipated her, to see how she was progressing with Folicular development.
In December, ovulated? So I turned the (nighttime) heat up. Second-guessing myself now.
Her follicles felt huge about the size of a plumb, maybe bigger, felt them get progressivly bigger.
Past week or so,. she seems to of deflated to the point she doesn't look gravid anymore! I could just be staring at her too much though.
Although, she still seems to be chunky in lower third... but less so, As i'd find typical post Ov, before their swell post Ov slough.
I just palipated her again, at first felt nothing.. then fearing the worst-reabsobsion.. herin lies my conumdrum.
They seems to of shrunk to say walnut size! possibly smaller! Is this normal, is she reabsorbing?
My speculations are:
* She hasn't ovulated (pretty sure she did already though).
* Seeing folicular development swelling, or is reabsorbing, or the eggs are.. slugs.
Guys/girls, can you *PLEASE* shed some light on this!? Is it possible the Ova swelled to huge proportions, shrunk down and calcified at the size of walnuts?
Or am i "Going, slightly mad", and shes just so big they feel smaller.
Saying that, So far, not seen her laying on her side, or belly up... So I doubt she is.
Her behaviour leads me to belive she maybe Gravid, due to her behaviour. I have given her a couple more hides to choose from, cooler and warmer ones.
