Re: FRUSTRATED... Answers please
actually the book does say that males will breed at all times of the year but they undergo a seasonal gonadal recrudescence. pretty much meaning that their testes increase in size which causes an increase in testosterone and increased testosterone means an increase in sex drive and sperm production. so cooling males may help positively affect your "slow starters" if you need to give em a jump start.
with females, environmental factors such as cooling and introduction of males for example, as well as physiological factors can cause her to undergo vitellogenesis which is actually the production of yolk which is needed to develop follicles. so cooling females may help them to start the production of the yolk needed to develop follicles although there are other factors that are said to cause a female to undergo vitellogenesis.
hopefully im not mistaken and hopefully this may help someone out.:)
