| Hi all, Strange thing happened today... One of my Emp's which I swore was a male (large pectines) now has one single baby on it's back, after 10 months and 6 days from when I bought it (7/17/10). If it is a female, can the gestation period go that long? And what's up with the one single baby? It's still a little fat, but it's walking around now like it's done spitting out kids. Could there still be more on the way? I have another Emp in a different enclosure also currently giving birth, but she's been in her birth stance working on hers for over a day now. It just doesn't add up to me. Any explanations, opinions, anything at all would be appreciated. Thanks! | |

| gestation can be anything from 8-18 months depending on temperature and food availabilty dunno about just the one baby though jamie had a simular experience with his desert hairy just spat out one single baby its weird! we currently have (well what we originaly thought) 2 females and one male, however after putting them in together one of the so called females is doing that juddering thing that i thought only males did? can anyone clarify if it is indeed just the males that do the juddering as we was quite sure that we had 2 females before we put them in, now we have 2 judderers lol | |
