Jill Turned Nasty

[James ed 58]

my jill is about ready to have a litter of kits.

For tge last week she has been nipping me a lot and it's starting to get harder, she is well handled but inderpendant ie she's never been want to be heals for long periods of time, I'm just wanting to kno is this normal behaviour for Jills when there pregnant

Some jills get really aggressive, others don't seem to change at all - just depends on the individual. I wouldn't worry too much about it though - as the kits get older she ought to calm down and return to normal.

Thanks krawnden,

Hope she does settle down, she's s good little worker, and was a farthere day press ant of my little boy,,

We'll se what she's like after the kits have arrived and are older.

Thank you again mate

Mine (3) Jill's are dragging each other in the nest and when I'm cleaning them out they all try to drag my hand in all get hold at the same Time but it's just mothering don't worry to much into it

Cheers mhopton,

It was just a bit off a shock to be honest.

The kits if I'm right should be hear tomorrow or Tuesday, Iv always brought my jill out of season with a V hob but she has been caught by my other hob this year,

Do you keep all your jills together through pregnancy like mate

If shes like that just now watch when she has the kits , she might turn into a live firework LOL her hormones are all screwed up just like a woman after shes had the kits and there away she should settle back down

Lads Iv been in the yard sorting the pup out and I think she has actually had kits I can hear loads of little squeaks, I don't want to look incase she scrans them, any advice? And Thanks The one

[The one 8,612]

You will know for certain when you go to feed her , sounds like shes going to launch herselve at your hand LOL if shes anything like that leave her well alone till the kits start to show out the nest box when she will be too busy dragging them back and you might get a chance to see them , but she might be a biter till the kits are gone at eight weeks and she settles down

[James ed 58]

Ok mate cheers,

I'll just leave her well alone apart from feeding her, thanks again for the advice lads
