    Re: will he make it to breeding size

    I doubt it very much. They CAN go younger sometimes but generally they have two winters under their belt and 500 grams. It's possible but I wouldn't hold your breath.

    I have each year successfully bred 6-7 month old 400-500 gram males.
    Does that mean he will?

    Some people have breed 250-350 gram males successfully. It's just a nice precaution to wait until 500 grams or 1 year.
    But as long as he has a nice weight and body condition and is producing sperm plugs, then you can technically breed at a lower weight.

    Just bc you get him to a certain weight, doesnt mean he'll breed for you. He could be 500grams, it doesnt mean hes gunna know what to do lol.
