Was your count of forty two days from the last day she was in with the hob ?.

[ticklemouse89 7]

Yeah it was last week the 42 days was

[theferreter 311]

she either had them and ate them or shes had a phantom did you see the hob stuck to the jill when you served her

[ticklemouse89 7]

Yeah but her belly is all big and that but no babies

[theferreter 311]

her belly wiil be big still for a week or two till the kits start getin bigger and taking it out of the jill my guess would be shes had them and ate them mate if you say she was to give birth to them last week

[ticklemouse89 7]

Why would she eat them tho

[theferreter 311]

Why would she eat them tho

who knows mate jills can be funny little creatures when it comes to there kits the slightest wee thing can make them eat there kits

we had a similar thing happen to us 3 weeks ago.our jill went 47 days no movement so the missus took her to the vets,jill ended up having to have a c section.she had 10 live kits.its worth popping her to vets and having a scan.

If she had them and ate them there would of been signs of blood under the tail , if she is still big she could go a day or two yet but if she looks like she's distressed or straining its a vet job
