'07 Female - Breeding Question

[Jay_Bunny]

I have an '07 normal female. She's a great eater (never misses a meal) and has been gaining weight steadily since we got her. Today I weighed her and while she has not pooped yet (fed on 4/10) and is in the last stages of a shed (going out of blue), she weighed 992g today. My minimum for breeding is 1500g. Would it be ok to breed her once she reaches that weight or should I wait till after next winter? With the way she's eating (1 small rat/week), she could put on that weight before then.

I also have an '06 girl that I want to breed and she is 913g. She also eats 1 small rat/week, so I might end up with 3 breedable females next go around.

I try to get my females a little over 1500 or at least a good solid 1500 on empty. and I would say that by next winter if she stays eating well than she should be over 1500

Well this past season, I started pairing in late September, early October. If she is 1500 or more, would it be ok to start her breeding?

with the way females are starting to produce at any time of the year I would say its fine to start breeding at 1500g as long as they are well proportioned, not fat.
