Breeding a young male to death?!?!
When they talk about breeding a young male and overworking him until he dies, how exactly does that happen? For the sake of argument you have a 650 gram male. You put him 3 days with one female, then 3 days with another female. After that you put him in his enclosure, on the first day he eats and you let him rest for 3 days. You repeat this throughout the breeding season, how do you all think this would work out for the male. Thanks in advance for your responses!

Re: Breeding a young male to death?!?!
I suppose it really depends on the male. Even if you push a healthy animal it could die.
If you're putting a male that size through only two females, and giving him rest in between, and he keeps eating and breeding I'd say you are probably going to be fine.

Re: Breeding a young male to death?!?!
At 650, while he is still somewhat small, I wouldnt really classify him in the at risk category. More like 400-500 gram guys are ,ore in danger. Some good ideas would be to limit the number of girls, and give him plenty of breaks. I will be breeding a male who is 525-550 grams this year. He is an 06. Im going to be careful, but he is only breeding one female so Im not really worried. If I was, he wouldnt be breeding!!!
