Pregnant Leo not eating.

[fastfreddy]

My female looks like she is ready to pop any day now. I'm a little worried because she has not eaten the last two days. She also seems to be breathing harder than usual. Is this normal for a ray ready to deliver? Any experienced advice would be appreciated.

Im certainly no breeder, but I know Ive read recently that the mom would fast right before giving birth.

Hopefully this means many new pups are just around the corner..

Someone far more experienced should chime in soon..

All my females stop eating 24 till 48 hours before giving bearth. So good luck.

I have also experienced the same with some of my females not eating right before birth.
