since our loss of delboy female did pine abit so after a call to roger
we have got a little man we have got him in another cage side by side

been about 10 days now let them out to play today and the female gave him a small nip and like spit at him

so they went back to there cages and since then they sniff each other and he as started to wag his tail side to side never seen this happen before and i know i read something about this but cant find or remember what it means....

Hi Mick!

The tail wagging is a really good sign! I don't think it will be much longer before they start sharing a cage. Please keep us posted. Liz CCL

Tail wagging is like a male mating dance. Whats so good in a male chin getting frisky with a female who it hasnt been properly introduced to yet ?

but the female hasnt responded that way but have a good smell at each other through the bars....

i think female is pregnant also by the chinny that passed away can this male take on role as dad? or wait till babies gone then put together...

also he is only 13 weeks old can he be a flirt???
or is it a man thing???

Hi Mick, Further to your last posting..re: your female being a little aggressive towards the new male.Is probrably to her being pregnant,it makes them very techy more so when very advance i.e. nearing their gestation period. Their maternal protection increases to it's fuition, so my recommendation would be to postpone the 'Trans Intro' until the birthing has been reached even furthered until the kitten/s have reached a more mature age. Depending also on the behavioural female's pattern if accepting another partner. Continue to keep the new male at close proximity within a smelling area but not touching. I am afraid it may be a waiting time for a resolve, perhaps you could find out how advanced the pregnacy is, a visit to your vet could answer it. You can gentlt put your hand under the rear legs and possibly feel the kit/s, quite hard if advanced. Both sides if mutiple birth is forecasted, another visual indication general lethargy, favouring a lower part of the cage, drinking lots of water. Moving hay bedding about making a makeshift nest. Do ring any of the C.C.L. team members for aid. Best wishes, Roger, C.C.L.

thanks roger

i have noticed along with partner that female cant get get into her chin bath as we got a ceramic chin bath with a hole in it that they go through and we had to take it out as she got stuck other day

drinking more than she use too

we are guessing about 50 days so not quiet half yet through pregnancy so got a long wait till we can put together
