had a couple of pregnant females for a while now was expecting the usual 90 days but that came and went.... was wondering if they would ever have pups.
one day nobody was around and i was wondering if they were still pregnant since the 90 days had long gone. focused on the large female and she didnt look good.
kept looking and i could see that she was no longer pregnant. id been waiting all this time and no luck :(

she was obviously without pups. so i looked to the second female and noticed in the corner something odd. ... the pups had arrived and id missed it ! but they were here.

later that day the other female gave birth and im pleased to say that at the moment they are all well :)

these are the first pics. they are not the best but i dont want to stress them too much.

Very nice!

I think marbles usually hold a little longer then reg motoros. 120 days is prob a better timeline to go by

congrats!
 
thanks :)

that explains why its always been longer than 90 days then !
just not known how long to wait in the past. i think its about right for 120 days i think one was knocked up about 10th march, but i think the smaller female i have might have been a bit longer than that, its hard to say without being 100% sure when they were knocked up ofc.

male has been interested again so i will have another chance to tell all being well and it was the larger females first litter so might take a bit longer before her next one.

pups are more active today and all are well so all good :) . will get some better pics in due course.

thanks for the comments ;)
 
Thats great news. Nice one. And good luck with raising them:D
