elongated nipples - definitely pregnant?
« on: July 09, 2010, 09:20:41 AM »

fluffy let me stroke her tummy when she had her calcium supplement today and i was trying to find nipples! and i definitely found one - at the bottom that was long and thin! (she did most of her nursing through the bottom two nipples with her first litter)

now, before i get excited.. how long does it take the nipples to get back to normal after weaning? what happens with the nipples during breed back?
her babies were born on the 6th of April and the boys were weaned on the 13th of June. the girl stayed with her mum but she stopped suckling at the same time as the boys.
the breedback or indeed the first pregnancy were not intentional - fluffy was supposed to be a boy so we had no idea she was pregnant.

thank you!

 ::silly::  The elongated nipples, in this instance, would not mean much of anything one way or the other.  There has not been enough time for them to go back to normal.

The nipples at the bottom are suppose to be the ones with the richest milk.   :::grins::    The kits usually have their way of finding the best and/or fullest.   :blush2:
