Hi White Lilly, My friend said its hormonal and nutritional confusion. However I don't know if its true as he does like to think hes mr know it all.
Glad to hear shes pregnant.

What is her diet like generally..??

Within holistic thought the act of "poo eating" can be down to some nutritional deficiency.....and she may not be deriving enough benefit from her diet first time round....so feels she needs to eat it again in an attempt to derive maximum benefit.....

If she enjoys chicken wings....I'm just wondering why you have stopped giving her these since she was mated....?? Raw food contains the very best nutritional building blocks for both Mum and her growing babies

Its also why some dogs love to snatch a mouthful of cow poo when out on walks....if you think about it a mouthful of cow poo is teeming with billions of tiny live prey. Unsavoury to us maybe.....but an enjoyable snack to them :)
