So far so good here. More or less all of my plans are on track. I hope to have a few neat clutches :D
Re: How's breeding going?
Breeding is going good I guess. This is also my first year so I have nothing to compare to but I must say it hasn't been action packed. I'm thinking thats pretty normal and you don't have multi copulation day in and day out. I'm extremely excited I'll tell you that and I'm hoping to hatch out some babies. Any babies I just want em the more the merrier.=Larry
Re: How's breeding going?
Sweet! Good luck everyone and post pics when eggs start hatching!!
Re: How's breeding going?
Sweet! My Poss Het Albino is over 1600g and I just heard that my larger female that was on a breeding loan with a Pin male is gravid!! The Pin itself is now on a breeding loan so I might have to choose what to breed the other female to since she was only in with the Pin once (and he didn't see anything between them). I'm excited!!
Re: How's breeding going?
Sweet! Het Albinos are locked again! The other female is being bred to a sweet looking Cinny male!
Re: How's breeding going?
I brought the gravid female home today. Boy, it's great to have her back! I had a couple extra rats left and she ate them quicker than my best eaters would have! And to think she used to be the pickiest eater of all! Lol!

You've got a gravid female that's eating multiple rats at a sitting?

Re: How's breeding going?
I should be getting 2 clutches of Pastel x normal, and one normal clutch.. all three of my breeder girls are still eating like there's no tomorrow when I offer food. I am not offering huge rats, just the medium ones they were used to.. I have been rotating to give everyone some rest before and after eating and between breedings. All three of the girls are over 1800g.
My little Pastel stud is around 700g.. he gets the job done, and I give him rests between breeding and eating also. No handling for any of the breeders unless it's cage-cleaning time..
I wanted to get Spiders this year, but honestly my little spider male needs to bulk up and grow more, I feel. I am not jumping the gun and sticking him in with girls yet.. believe me, this takes a huge amount of patience on my part! But I feel it's best for him. Especially since I have only had him for little more than a month, and I feel that he needs more settling-in time. But he is eating like a little champ!

Yep! They were both smaller than what I used to feed her though... She's one of those females that usually won't eat one larger one...only a 2-3 little rats.
That sounds great Ginevive! Good luck!

How many eggs does she have in her?
