When to Pair? or not to pair?

I have 2 quick questions. First one of my girls laid late this year, as in back in mid July. However since that time she has gained back all of the weight she lost, plus several hundred more grams. She is bigger now than ever before. So my question is when is it safe to start pairing here for this coming breeding season?

Next questions. I have a virgin girl who has just magically went off feed for the past 3 weeks. I've kept a close eye on her and nothing appears wrong with her. Is it still okay to start paring her for should I wait until she starts eating again?

I'm in the same boat as you with a couple of my girls. I'm going to continue pounding them with food and start pairing in December. If they go again this year great, if not, they'll be even bigger for next season.

If she's up to size, I'd start pairing her now.

Ok update on this. The virgin girl has locked on 4 different occasions already. My other girl I spoke about has been bowl wrapping for the past week straight! Do you think this is a sign of developing follicles? If so is it safe to go ahead and start pairing here again?

Thanks for updating and congrats on the locks. Give the pairing a go!

Is it "safe" to start paring her again? That's my concern, since she just laid in mid July.

I would continue to feed her for another month :gj:
