I just wonder if the weight loss itself is affecting him.
Yeah I like my males small, but I wouldn't try to make a big male smaller!!!

Could we get some more incite into the reasoning behind that Jon?
I've bred males from 400 grams to 2600 grams and had good luck with all sizes of males, just curious why you have a preference for smaller size?

one of the breeders that got me started breeding also likes his males around the 700 to 900 gram range. not that he gets rid of them after they get over 900 grams. it's just the size he likes them at. he was probably most successful with males at that size. my best breeders are well over the 1000 gram mark. big not fat
