I have never posted here before, I mainly read and get ideas and information. I however am a little concerned. I have a pregnant female, her due date is Thursday based on my calculations from when I found the breeding plug to 111 days forward! However, she has a very thick sticky fluid on her back side near her tail and I am nervous. She isn't stretching, or constantly cleaning herself...she drank a whole freaking bottle of water yesterday and none today yet. She hasn't eaten too much in about 2 days. Does anyone have any advice? I attached a photo of it so you can get a better look. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You!

Is she still in with the male? If so, my guess would be he's trying to attempt a breed back, or, may already have succeeded.
 
No, she is in a cage by herself and has been for weeks to prevent a breed back from occurring.
 
Brandy - She said it's thick and sticky. Usually a water bottle will just be wet. I honestly can't think of anything else unless she's got discharge from her vaginal area that she somehow got on her side. My first thought was a male.
 
Could be her mucus plug falling out pending delivery. Not to be graphic but just like in people chinchillas have a waxy mucous covering the opening of thief cervix when pregnant and as delivery get closer they can loose this plug more often than not they clean it up before you see it
