Okay, If you have a female, that has a slit in her pouch, is she prego? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Nope- all females have slits to their pouches- that's how they gain access to clean or the babies go in/out. It's just the opening...

Do you suspect she might be pregnant?

Not a silly question by the way <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumb.gif" alt="" />

Well, We think that she might be. Her moods are changing, and she is more in her pouch and protective than normal from my understanding <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> we are praying she is, but just wasn't sure about it. This is a female that we are getting along with her mate. We have a female, about 9 mos. and we haven't seen a slit at all on her... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

I can't always see the slit on our girls- usually I can but there's times when I can't. I guess it just depends on how they are positioned and maybe their fur is a little fluffier than normal <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/nixweiss.gif" alt="" />

Are you 100% sure it's a girl?

LOL... I hope so! The breeder we got her from said it's a girl and we don't see any little BOOMERS on her. Oh, my, I just always thought she was a girl cause they said so... Just to be on the safe side, I will go in there and check. Am I just looking for boomers on her if it isn't a HER??? omg.. I am flipping out!

YEPPERS, She is a girl. LOL.. that totally got me 2nd guessing myself. I hate that feeling. SO- there is no way to say for sure if this new female might have joeys IP or not just by the slit?
Thanks,
Brook

As far as I know- nope.

The only way I know is by either feeling lightly for a little bump- only recommended if you are very bonded & it won't stress her out & don't check daily either... or if you see a lump in her pouch.

I have a little lady I suspect is pregnant but there's no way she'd let me touch her belly! So... I'm stuck looking for lumps and bumps!
