Hi all/Update
Hi guys I know its been a while since i've been on so i thought i would update everyone.
To start i got my girl eating rats, and now i have no problem feeding her. she is gaining good healthy weight and growing. so im very happy bout that.
I don't know if i got the humidity down to a science or if she grew out of it, but she now has perfect full sheds everytime. and her health in general is just great all around.
Now i have a question... i would like to breed her at some point, even find someone to do a 50/50 or pick of the litter or something. so im wondering how big on average she would have to be to even consider breeding her. right now she is about 500g which i know is too small, so im just wondering what size would be ok to try at?
I guess also roughly how long would you think it would take to get to a mature breeding size, ready by next breeding season? or another 2yrs or more etc.
Thanks for the help guys. love being a part of the community.
Cheers.

Re: Hi all/Update
My standards would be:
3rd winter (roughly 3 years old)
1600 grams
I don't like to have any type of complications like a female becoming egg bound because she was a tad to small. So I go for bigger weights or I don't breed them.

Re: Hi all/Update
thanks for that. i kinda figured it would be around that weight. but i've never bred before so i wanted to double check.
