Ok heres the rundown...
Started pairing my pastel to a normal female 6 weeks ago (late start) witnessed 5 copulations, signs of building, and a shed in the first two weeks, after that I have not seen any more copulations. But I have continued to pair them up 3 on 3 off.
Now 4 weeks after that shed, shes in another shed cycle and I am def. feeling some follicle growth.
My question is, since im feeling follicle growth and shes about to shed is this the pre-lay shed? I would say the follicles are about quarter sized. Maybe bigger I dunno, im a noob at this.
