Question about moving a breeding BP female

I think ( in my opinion ) that if your going to move them in there tubs I would think possible setting some towels or something in the tubs to help them prevent bumping around and feel liek they are safer also I think it help keep heat into the tubs once the warmed up. As for breeding them i also think it would depend on how far alon they are possible and such details. if they just starting to build follicles and such might get lucky . I would think that the less the bounce around and such they happier and less stressed they get.

One thought would be finding out how close they are to ovulation?

If your friend can palpate them and they are right on the edge they may go before you have to pick them up.
