Beginning of day 30. Marilyn has pulled alot of hair. She has bald patches on her sides.

Marti has pulled some hair but not like last time. She also dug out most of her shavings.

They're adorable! Can't wait to see their kits
And I never thought to check for nipples before that either...but now I do!

Well Marti has 3 so far! I checked her at 6 when I let the ducks out and again at 9 when I started chores. Nothing. In the middle of feeding chickens and I sneak a peek. 3 and 1 looks dark!

Yay!

Thanks! I wasn't expecting so many. She had 4 her first round in April. So I was expecting 3-4. I'll snap a pic later today. Dont want to bug mom too much.
Still waiting on Marilyn. Surely if it was a false pregnancy itd be earlier than day 30 right? She had a nest full of hair pulled.

Got a better look see. 2 are I believe peanuts they will stay until they pass as I like to give everything a chance.

They're precious Mama pulled a lot of hair!
Well I hope they are runts and not peanuts for you
Not sure about Marilyn...I would wait though. Do you palpate them? You would definitely be able to tell right now if she was pregnant or not.

She pulls herself borderline bald lol Marilyn's nest is the same.
I've never had any luck feeling any babies but I'm pretty sure when I was rubbing Marilyn's belly earlier I felt at least one good size knot about the size of a baby. She'll probably wait until I'm at work tomorrow to have them.
