I'm on baby watch as typical for this time of year. Right now I have one female in the "due window" with several more due to enter the window in a little over a week. I define the window as plus/minus 10 days from due date.
This female's due date was yesterday the 26th. Clearly gravid but had not been showing signs of being ready to drop. On the 25th I checked the cages in the morning and found her cage all fogged up.
and the paper to the left of the tub is all soggy...
I'm thinking cool, babies are here but wait a second.....
What's this doing in there?
She shed? Right before due date? I have had females with interim sheds before, on rare occasions even two sheds between POS and parturition. But I don't recall ever seeing a interim shed this close to parturition. BTW, this would be Tiffany's first shed since her POS. She's now active and looking like a female almost ready to drop.
Still seeing "new" things........
But worth it in the end!
