    Breeding year round

    I was just wondering how many of you breed year round. I know the appropriate way with the season and cooling startin in August, but I wanted to know how many folks here set up early, or do it whenever they feel like it really. I know it can be done, I have no intention of doing it...but I wanted to know if anyone did.

    Breeding season is a lot of work. I'd prefer to do it just once per year instead of perpetually. Just not for me...

    Nope! I have no doubt it's doable though I don't cool animals anymore but if you breed outside of breeding season you may need to simulate a seasonal change that would normally happen (with the change of seasons) or through cooling.

    Yeah that's what one site said, which led to this question. I don't feel like messing with temps after I finally got done tinkering with my Flexwatt and have stable STABLE temps. So wait, you don't cool at all? How does that work? Everything I know about breeding involves cooling.

    I do cool my animal and being in the south it would be a little more complicated for me to do so off season, so no I do not breed off season, I get started in october.

    We dont use a season, we just breed ours when we feel theyre ready.

    We dont cool them either and have so far had no problems doing it this way.

    I'm not far from Deborah, and I don't cool my animals. That's what's so cool - there are many different successful ways of doing things, and no one right way.
