thurso jack 3 Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 my jill was due yesterday, last night i noticed a clear liquid discgarge coming from her vulva, so i thought she must be about to drop, today she was out in her run running around fat as a pig but no kits yet, when would you think she will drop now? it must be pretty soon surely? as you can guess im getting impatient :whistle: Quote Link to post

Guest little_lloyd Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 I havent noticed anything yet. But still about a week left so.... Quote Link to post
danielt 1 Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 (edited) Yeh she is scratching alot. For bedding i have shredded paper and an old pair of boxer shorts ( i hate cotton boxers no room for menovure) she loves sleeping in the boxers, theres a load of ferret fur stuck on the boxers, so surely thats a sign of her moulting. Lloyd, mine is due 15th ish Edited May 31, 2007 by danielt Quote Link to post

gibby 0 Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 (edited) theres a load of hair deposited on the boxers You should have washed them before you gave them to her Edited May 31, 2007 by gibby Quote Link to post
danielt 1 Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 theres a load of hair deposited on the boxers You should have washed them before you gave them to her Suppose i left myself open to that didnt i. Yes they were clean hardly used in fact. FL, i could sort you out with a pair of boxers if you like. How'd you want them clean or unwashed, all the better for sniffing Quote Link to post
