I have this absolute gorgeous female I paired with my hypo sometime in August who started swelling early October then looked normal for awhile until this swelling started earlier this week I figured it was the ovulation swell but it lasted longer than 24 hours? So I was wondering if anyone else had experienced an ovulation swell that lasted awhile or if I should be more concerned about potential issues

The two bigger litters I had, my females had a swelling I assume was the ovulation, and then stayed swollen the entire gestation. It may have gone down a little bit, but not too noticeably. I haven’t had any of those huge ovulations, though. That’s already bigger than any I have seen. haha
That said, I don’t pull the male until he spends 3+ straight days completely avoiding the female, just in case. Sometimes they’ll avoid her for a day or two and get back to it.

Thank you loll idk this is our first ovulation swell second time trying to breed and we had our first lock in August and more locks than I could ever count I’m pretty hopeful but also nervous at the same time with how long it’s lasted
