Hi all, I just had a polar fox male and female together for a little less than an hour because the female was in heat and I wanted to get a litter started. The first about half an hour went normally and the moment I united them they started their business. After this half an hour the female started to squeak rather loudly but would still let the male mount herself several times. Then she refused him and just ran into the nest box and squeaked so that the male who was still trying to continue mating and get into the nesting box didn't dare go in. I thought that she has had it now and lifted her up from the tank and somehow I decided to check her genitals and they were bloody. Is that dangerous? Was she squeaking so loud because the mating hurt her? She is 1,5 years old and has had at least one litter before. She was also squeaking loudly to the male these couple of evenings before when I have been testing the ground for her possible heat in a divided cage, so she does seem to be a rather loud character, too.
Should I do something and has anyone experienced this before? All and any help is really welcome, thank you in advance! - Sari
