General Breeder Chat / Babies Coming??

« on: January 27, 2012, 07:22:50 PM »

My female chin, Kyra, is pregnant. Today I went and checked on her and she was checking herself(the only time I saw her do this) and later she was in the corner holding the cage sitting up. She wasnt having any contractions though. I was wondering if this means she is close to having her babies or if females just do this sometimes during pregnancy. I have never seen her do this before and she seemed to be in an akward position?

Yes her attitude is very different the past couple days. Normally she loves to be pet and very friendly but, now she doesnt want to be touched or bothered at all. So I just let her be. She is laying around a lot lately especially on her side. She  will eat twice a day and pretty much lay around the rest of the time.

Thank you. I understand that things can go wrong. And someone can only be as prepared as possible and hope for the best! I know there is nothing more I can do except for being prepared. I think im as ready as I can be at this time. I know you are not beingrude any advice is better than none. I have removed the male since we don't know how soon it will be. I have tried to check her nipples and she didnt want me to do that. So I have just been leaving her alone. Normally she loves being petted but not lately. When she sits up I try to look and see if I can see them. The male has gotten very protective of her even though they are seperated. Thank you for the advice.

General Breeder Chat / Pregnant Chin

I have 2 chins. A male and a female. I want to breed them and she is currently expecting! I am very excited because they are my children! I cant wait to be a chinnie grandma!! She has gotten very big and is starting to get very lazy. I have done a lot of research on the internet about pregnancy. I am prepared for whatever may happen. The only problem I have is that my boyfriend and I dont know when they mated. We have had the male for about a year and a half. He is about 3 years old. We didnt get the female till late september. We put them in cages next to each othe until they were comfortable and finally put them in the same cage. They have been inseperable ever since! They have been sharing a cagen since the first week of October. I just wanted to ask some more experienced breeders if they could possible help us guess about how long she has left. I know its difficult and different for every chin. But any help would be great. I am constantly checking on her thinking it could be any time. I've been having to feed her twice a day. shes been drinking more than normal and like I said she is getting very lazy and constantly laying around. She still gets excited when I go in their room. Her belly has just gotten so big she cant move as fast anymore If anyone could help that would be great! Also, is there an average weight of a pregnant chinnie? she is an average size normally. But I had never weighed her before. Thank you for anyone who can help!
