Shaunm41 14 Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Ive just had the same with mine, 1st time breading for me aswell.. She lost her fur aroung her belly and back legs, shes practically bald there now, apparently they pluck their fur to build the nest with not long before the kits are born.. Mine is 2 years old, gave birth lastnight and when I fed her earlier I had a little check, counted atleast 9.. Quote Link to post
