RoughCollie Posted April 15, 2017 Author Share Posted April 15, 2017 (edited) Leg sticking out ETA: Both front legs are out now. I was a bit worried when there was only one. Also a substance -- whatever the giraffe's legs were encased in (I guess) fell to the floor, and she picked it up and ate it. It was a membrane,but certainly not 6' long! Every so often she reaches back and licks those little legs. Edited April 15, 2017 by RoughCollie 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink and Green Mom Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I have watched intermittently over the past few weeks and am so glad you posted this here. Now I feel like my time hasn't been wasted :lol: Thanks for the heads up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angie in VA Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I have been watching her since early March! Dh likes to have the news on in the morning. He wants traffic and weather updates, but enduring the stories on fires, home invasions, shootings, and car crashes makes my blood pressure rise! April brought my bp down again.

gardenmom5 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 has she been walking around for an hour with just the forelegs sticking out? is that normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 has she been walking around for an hour with just the forelegs sticking out? is that normal? Yes. I semi-watched the last giraffe and that was how it was for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewe Mama Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Is anyone else getting nervous? She doesn't seem to be progressing. When goats or sheep give birth, it's just a matter of a few minutes (at most) from the time the hooves appear until the baby is out. I realize she's neither goat nor sheep, but still...She's been like this for an hour! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I just read it can take up to two hours after the hooves present. Is it crazy that I don't want to close this window? What if I miss it? :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewe Mama Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Thanks for that info, Night Elf. I'll calm down a bit now. :) I'm sitting here crocheting a shrug to go with my daughter's Easter dress and I keep glancing at the computer to make sure I haven't missed it. You're in good company. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night Elf Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Is that the baby's head sticking out? I'm sitting here cheering Push him out Push him out, Way out! I've been watching for an hour now. Good grief! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vintage81 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 (edited) The baby is really cute! I love how the daddy giraffe is pacing around in the next stall...like a nervous first-time daddy. 😊 Edited April 15, 2017 by Vintage81 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenmom5 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I enjoyed the zoo's comments that the would go in her stall, and give her treats etc, . . but oliver, a bull is a bull is a bull is a bull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night Elf Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Aww.. every time it stands up it falls over. Poor little legs are splayed on the ground. I wonder how long it will take to get on its feet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we know if it's a boy or girl? I walked away for about half an hour and it looks like a completely different baby. It sure does change very quickly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
