Folicles

This is my females 2nd winter and i can feel 4 folicles.
Does that mean shes ready to breed or is the weight of her the most important thing. I do not have a scale yet but do not think shes 1500 grams yet maybe 1000.
I would never harm any of my pets in any way so if its weight then no go for sure.
Just for more knowledge I would like to know what the outcomes are for breeding underweight.

forgot 1 thing
Can females produce follicles without copulation?
Cause shes a virgin.

If she has follicles she's ready...

Yes they can develop follicles without copulation.

Ok I see you are a senior member ( :bow:much respect:bow: ) and im not trying to insult you in anyway cause I have heard alot to not breed females under 1500 grams or Is this an exception because she is telling me shes ready. I am in no hurry to breed if I should wait till next season I got no problem doing that. I am an experienced keeper but not breeder. My thoughts are if shes not up to size the eggs wont have enough room to properly form and/or when she lays them they could hurt her coming out. It would make me feel alot safer if I could get more advice on this situation.

Obviously she is ready if she has follicles...If she wasn't sexually mature she would not have follicles!

I have bred quite a few girls under 1500 grams...You have already said you don't even know her weight...Get a scale and weigh her...

Also start feeding her more to get her weight up...I feed breeding females twice a week.

yes a scale and a few other supplys will be baught as soon as that dang income tax check gets to the bank :banghead:. so should i introduce the male or get a weight 1st cause the scale ill have in a week or 2

Are you positive she has follicles? I don't want to tell you to chuck a male in with a 900 gram female that doesn't have follicles...But if your sure she has follicles breed her...

Yes I am sure cuase I practice feeling for them everytime I have put her back in the past year, and I know what poo feels like and these arent poo. The poo is after and its oblong not marbles.

And im not going to hold you personally responsible if anything goes wrong. If I dont breed her this season will it cause any kind of complications for her. Im thinking shell just absorb them and everything goes back to normal ?

If she's is already going through the motions breed her. No since in her building follicles just to absorb them.
