ALLY'S DEN

I sure hope she gets some sleep. Probably she will sleep near Vega and IF Vega starts giving birth she will hear it. I hope Vega will stay in one piece until tomorrow - it is much easier when you have slept and are not tired. In this case I will probably be there taking care of Aarni and doing all normal things that have to be done.
Remains to see.......
Just in case - I think I better get myself ready to go to bed... Who knows when I get a call to come over.....
Good Night!!

We hope that this is it, but Anna will do an ultrasound check soon, to be sure.

I have - it is called koivunmahla in Finland.

but you have birches in your yard, you never tried from these to get birch sap?

No, we have never tried - I actually don't like the taste

yes,maple sap taste is better

Some people collect the sap and make wine of it.... That I have never tasted but I think it could be better than the fresh sap

but fresh birch sap is good for kidneys

caysa,could you look darla and say how far her giving birth is?
in forum there people wait it already 4 day,but nothing,they already knew,that darla and freddy was together in 13 january last time and from this its already 90 day, what is leopards babycarring time.
darla already got nickname- spotty globe

Leopards have a long gestation period, around 12 weeks = +/- 94 days.
So if it is now 90 days.... Could be soon or next week

i hoped you look her belly and could say,likeanna knew that vega will give birth

AllyKass wrote:i hoped you look her belly and could say,likeanna knew that vega will give birth

I did not see her at all, the den was empty.....

yes she often goes out but now forum members thought that her waters come,she liked the floor and after that herself

She is definately in labour now, but I think it is still the opening stage. The licking is usually just a way to handle the pain. Dogs often do that too. Also the playing she is doing is typical distraction behavior.
This stage might take even 12 hours but as Darla has had babies before it might be quicker. The babies will probably pop out easily when she is ready to push.
