I think if you can take the preggo mommy with you and if you check the temps at the end so you know when she is close to labor you will be ok.
I plan on taking a week off of work to be home with Baby. I work part time and Baby can come to work with me.
This will be my 1st litter, so I really am not sure yet how it will go. But I do know that I am keeping a very close eye on her and her temps.
Good luck to you!

I got the two adult females from her because she's downsizing a little, and she and I have gotten to know each other very well. Both mothers have had a litter previously...and those two are both due to come into heat anytime now (it's been 7 months since ones last...and 6 since the others). Brooke's vulva is firm, so I'm guessing another week or two. So those are going to be similar (although I'm hoping one comes at least a couple weeks before the other...so I won't have to deal with two whelping within a few days. Maddie is at 4 1/2 months now since her last heat...so she'll be AT LEAST a month behind the others I think. I have been researching this for a long time...and I'm lucky to have this wonderful mentor to help me through the process. I know there will always be a way for either me, or someone I trust, to be with the mom and/or the babies once they're born. I was just curious if anyone successfully works full time and breeds. Thank you, though, for being so helpful.  |
