Yes, she can still have the babies. Go ahead and put her in the breeder box and wait it out. Remember 28 days is just an average, a week more it's all that unusual, so don't get too upset when and if it hits day 31, 32, 33.

If you don't want to put her in a box, then you can get breeding grass. That is where the fry will hide. I have a tank of guppies and they get pregnant all the time and I would go nuts trying to keep the females in the breeding tank, so I let them lose and let nature deal with it. My guppies are keppt well fed, and I have a castle in the tank. The fry seem to do fine. I see new ones all the time. Never seen an adult eat one. It's a feeder tank, so my tank never gets over populated. Just let them do their thing if the fry have somewhere to hide.

put her in the breeding box as you obviously do not want any of them eaten. if you leave her out she could start giving birth and then the fry are succeptable to get eaten by either fish. once she is all done take her out and everything should be fine. for a couple hours after the mother has babies, the mother creates a chemical that makes her less hungry to give the babies a chance to get away. but after the chemical isn't produced anymore, it will turn into a free for all. good luck!

I usually wait until I can see the babies eyes in the mothers abdomen to put the mother in the box.

fifty 9 days (for bigger canines) bc they have greater doggies sixty two-sixty 4 days (smaller canines) much less doggies be beneficial while SHE HAS HER doggies to assist HER by using IT! ALOT OF puppy vendors think of which you need to depart THEM on my own AND enable IT take place certainly, yet THATS HOW ALOT OF canines AND mothers DIE. seek on google or yahoo for the stages of being pregnant and learn them. you will need some techniques for while she does pass into exertions (towel to scrub the doggies,blankets,thermometer to envision the mothers temp for while she does pass into exertions,etc.) you will understand your canines is going into exertions bc that day she would be waiting to no longer consume or drink, and she or he would be waiting to b laying around the homestead, panting, and digging around attempting to make a gap to grant her doggies.
