I've just been reading some threads about breeding females. I have no plans to do this for a LONG time but I was curious about this 'squishy' thing. I know its prob. not good for a BP to be squishy, because this may mean they have too much fat build up, but if you were preparing a female for breeding, do you want her to have more fat because of the long wait before laying and the fact that she has to sustain them? Or if you have a female that is 1700 grams and firm, would that do?
