Montana's in labor!

[Tink]

Sorry to keep making you all wait. LOL
Believe me I share your agony!
She's not changed one iota overnight. She has an occassional light discharge, now that it's cooler out she's panting less, she's as active as ever, she's still got runny stools, is still eating, running, jumping.

Today is the 63rd day. I tried explaining that to her, hoping it would help. I've read that they have to be able to relax in order to transition smoothly... so maybe that's the key here? She's not one who likes to relax!

Anyway, she seems fine, quite happy for all the special attention and is dragging it out for all it's worth. Time wise she could wait another few days safely, but with the symptoms she has, I wouldn't expect it. But then I expected she was revving up yesterday. She's dug a hole in her pen that's at least 2 feet deep and almost straight up and down on the sides. She sits IN it by dropping her back half in and settling down on top. Once in, only the very top of her head is visible. I took this to be "nesting" behavior (for a badger!) Her nice private birthing area is all clean and ready with fresh bedding only feet away, but remains untouched.

I can feel my hair turning gray one by one
