stubby 175 Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 maybe it's in the "magwitch bloodline" because one of the silvers I got off you couple years back, does exactly the same, and her daughter too Link to post
ianrob 2 Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 I have a little jill who is the sweetest thing normally, but having recently lined her she as turned into a right cow. Feeding her yesterday she was on me like a snapping turtle trying to stink her teeth deeper and deeper. Anyone elses jills turn a bit nasty when expecting? That brought back memories Magwitch. I used to have a white jill which I called Alison. She was a maniac, lovely when unaroused but could turn into demon and bit me proper once. I was young at the time and thought I'd "take a litter off her" then get rid of her, Well if I thought she was bad before, she was a hundred times worse once pregnant, then worse still when she had the kitts. I'd to block her into her bed to clean her out. One of the kitts turned into the most beautiful little jills I've ever set eyes on, I christened her Rosie, but you've probably guessed it, she could turn on a sixpence from sunshine and lovelyness into a Tazmanian devil. Luckily she grew out of it and became my favourite, 'till someone lost her, but that's another story. Link to post

Guest jojoamojo Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 (edited) it culd be she is craving more nutrition? pregnant jills need alot more nutrition, if they are so grumpy and you can tie it in to hormones have you not considered neutering? as a pose to 'getting rid of her' whatever that comment means (i dread to think) and i agree, why breed silvers Edited May 5, 2008 by jojoamojo Link to post

That comment shows a profound lack of knowledge of basic genetics. Not altogether uncommon in those who choose to breed for colour. Link to post
