Well I've been breeding for quite a while and would like some advice on phantom pregnancies from anyone that has actually had one, as I've never had one here, touch wood. Does the queen actually gain weight, pink up and look like she is about to give birth? If so at how far gone do realise that it is a phantom and how do you realise that? Is it early on or in the late stages? Does the queen get the milk in as with a normal pregnancy shortly before they would be due?

Very curious and any advice would be appreciated, as this is something that I luckily have not experienced yet, but can understand it being so disappointing for anyone that has. C.x. confused:
