In Reply to: Getting Ready to Kid??? posted by Helene on March 25, 2002 at 09:29:12:
Hi Helene
Oh, how exciting...your beloved Eris becoming a mommy. It's almost like being a grandmother isn't it??? The kidding thing is pretty unpredictable. My pygmies (both first time fresheners last year), started to bag up in the last two weeks of their pregnancy. Both got lazy, and alot slower during the last two weeks. Now one of them showed the definate....I'm going off to be alone thing. She went to the barn all alone, which is very unusual for her. My other girl, gave no signal of wanting to be alone whatsoever, but she gave birth in the night, so I wouldn't have noticed, as I was snug in my bed. They say you can test the tail ligaments, but I never noticed a differance in my girls, and I felt them every day for the last month. What you do is to make a peace sign , and then place those two fingers one on each side of the tail----- \O/---- kinda like that with the tail being the circle...if you can get the idea with that goofy diagram. Under your fingers you can feel the ligaments which feel like cords....if they are ready to kid they get mushy. Just a few ideas....just trying to help. Please keep us posted...I'll be waiting on pins and needles along with you.
