labor

garterchick · 05-25-2007, 08:47 PM

my female eastern blackneck seems to have contractions since yesterday, and by that i mean she "tenses" every few minutes. i'm not even 100% sure that she's pregnant, although she is awfully big. could she be in labor?

Hi Tina, It sounds as though she might be about to give birth. Can you post a picture then we can help you to decide whether or not she is gravid?

Just for interest... what have you been feeding her, and how often does she eat?

garterchick · 05-28-2007, 05:31 PM

f/t pinkies, about every 5 days, and she's been pretty regular, except today she refused her food. she's also very active today, more so than in the last few days.

Hey Tina ... Didn't mean to leave you hanging but I have no ideas

... You're right she does look 'big'. Hopefully someone else on this forum has seen something similiar ?? ...

best wishes

Hi Tina, she doesn't appear really big, but there is definitely that gravid shape to her. Fingers crossed.
