Due Dates :)

[TattooMommy]

Hello everyone! Just wondering, based on personal experiences (because I have read every bit of info on the web) When do most of YOUR Hedgehogs have their pups? Pinky is due tomorrow!! at 35 days. she is plump, eating less, and sleeping more. I have heard that most are right on schedule at 35 days, so with hearing that, I am going to be a nervous werck if tomorrow night their is still no babies:impatient:

Also, What have other breeders noticed right before delivery? Besides the obvious, What are some other signs she is about to have them?

last night, she just layed in her igloo, eyes wide open all night, she got up to use the litter box once, then it was right back to her igloo..

Most of mine came around 37 days and up to 40 with a few going over.

Usually they get restless when starting labour and will pace, walk in circles or try and reach up the sides of the cage. Sometimes they will pace, then splat on the bottom of the cage, then pace again.

Good luck.
