When should I stop working my pregnant Jill?

[gollum 1]

Hi Folks,

 

My Jill is looking quite pregnant now, she came in to season on the 9th March and was mated immediately by my extremely enthusiastic hob....many times! I am sure she is pregnant, and she's starting to look a bit fatter around her lower abdomen.

My question is this: When should I stop taking her out hunting?

 

She seems full off energy and was still enjoying her trips out last week but I want to be sure she has a safe pregnancy and that I don't do any harm by working her when maybe she should be resting up.

 

Also I have her isolation cage setup ready for her to nest and deliver her kits in...at what stage would you good folks recommend I separate her from the other ferts?

 

Thanks for any suggestions.

to be honest I would'ent know if there's a scientific time you should stop, but I would'ent take her out at all,

if you have other ferts, why not take them

as for keeping her seperate, unless you can be 100% sure of your other ferts, I'd split her up a good 10days before due date

Thanks everyone, she is now rehoused in her own unit and I'll be keeping her home now.

 

I had the feeling that it was time to keep her home as soon as I saw the belly start to expand but she still seemed so enthusiastic about going out and having fun and I didn't want her to feel left out . But as jimandpup said, lose her and I have nothing! Too true mate. Thanks everyone.

 

Cheers.
