One of our British Lop guilt is about to explode..
when should we start to get a bit worried?

Been about 128 days so should be having her babies now really!! Her back end is very red and swollen and milk seems to be building... BUT has been like this for quite a few days now!

Keep thinking tonight will be the night, then check on her at 10 o'clock.... Fast'o!!.. No signs!!

Is she just playing with us

Give her a hot curry. That worked for my sister when she was overdue!

Curry didn't work with me ... neither did long gruelling uphill walks in the country, or even ... (gasp, shock, horror) - sex!

3rd time lucky they say!! When we bought her she was in pig but she aborted, then she had a phantom pregnancy..
but last night...

starting at 9:30 finishing at 3:30

(yep ,was there for the whole of it and i'm now knackered) she had 10 little ones , 7 boys 3 girls

Was a little grumpy during (her not me.. well at about 2ish it was me) which is understandable

, but finally got her to lay down and let them feed.. I'm happy now as this was most probably her last chance

I liked the old pics on your website, especially the double decker layer of piglets suckling, I didn't know they could do that
