in this pic is said old vic alpine lass in my shadow,lol,also gravid,turning 30 .id march,the lass in the sun is the lass that copes all the mating scarring,usually first female to get covered ehich probs doesnt help her with a few eager males early on

this higher black female,sister to the one with big old girl in last pic and usually the first to drop is looking very ominous,bit of squirming and feels as tightly packed as u can get before bursting,lol

been cold and rainy on and off all day here in sunny melbourne,top of 19 degrees but they feel like they have been basking on a 30 degree day,though they arent moving at all except for laboured breathing

shouldnt be long now

there was another big fat lass hiding in a hide but no pics i just left her be

Richard do you mean 19 & 30 years old????

corectamondo scott,i got the old girl as a ten year old,the old male a couple of years later as age unknown ,so hes posably up to around that age to now,but i just say at least 25 for him going off he looked quite mature back when i got him,the 19 year old lass lass was from old girls first litter with me,the dad was one of my lowlands males the following srason after i got her,housed them all inside back then with my old b/w shingles

my oldest hold back vic alpines are 17 and all males,from me hanging on to the heftiest babies which i found out are usually the males of a litter

still no dice but looking ominous,pulled the vic alpine/vic lowlands lass from the pit to avoid confusion at baby time,last litter she had with vic alpine male gave a litter of 7 babies,5 looked like alpines,2 like lowlands
