So this is where I will be updating about my Enderbies and keeping everyone posted ont he breeding and the biting and all that jazz.
So 2 weekends ago I had my pair at the Pa Convention for all to see. Pam Nock palpated my doe and reccomended I breed her again, and she didn't feel anything. That weekend my Enderbies both got snuffles. wtf. But they are almost fully recovered as of now. HArdly any discharge or sneezing. So i'm gong to breed her again when they are both well.
Back to the no prego thing. Umbra is supposedly not pregnant....but Enderbies are known to have smaller litters,...so if she has only oneor two in there...maybe it was just difficult to detect the embryos?Hiding? ITs just that Umbra, if pregnant, would be in her finaly daysof pregnancy (due ont he 18th- day 31). And she's been drinking a CRAP LOAD of water, which means she's either severely dehydrated or pregnant, since she's inside in my room, its not very warm in here and it's not the freezing temperatures of outside either. I just suspectshe's drinking so much for a different reason. Its unlike her to drink this much. She has a 16 ounce waterbottle with vitamins (its green!)and she'll got through one of those or more in a day. Last night I filled it up to the very top, went to bed, woke up, its half gone. All night I hear the tickitty tickth tick tikky tick of her getting adrink.
Also, she was making an INSANE racket the other night. Thumping and throwing her food dish and dragging it around. I looked for a ball or toy of some sort to give her and all I found was this little stuffed Garfield from a happy meal. I threw that in there and BAM. She just...stopped. And starts grooming it. Then she picked it up byt hespine and stuck it to the wall...which surprised me because I didn't know it was magnetic. She apparently hadn't either. Umbra then curled up next to it and went to sleep. Every night she picks up Garfield and puts him in the ''nest''. AKA food dish. I put a nest box in there to see what she'd do and after she scoped out what it was, Garfield was transferred to the nest box. The box takes up a lot of room in there though so I took it back out until she's ready to pop (if at all).Garfield was fast asleep in her food bowl minutes later. She treats him like her baby. I wonder...what's making her feel so maternal?
Well thats the update for now....thoughts on this whole drinking Garfield licking thing are appreciated.
