    Male/female ratio

    Curious how many females you breed to a single male.

    Re: Male/female ratio

    I think it depends on how large the male is. Currently I have 2 males to 8 females but I know some people who breed much higher numbers.

    Re: Male/female ratio

    If the male is small, I would keep him to 3-4

    If larger and a proven breeder, he can go up to 6-8. (My own number I use, not necessarily how many he really can "do")

    Depends how big the male is but I would say 4 to 6 but thats what I think.

    My "busiest breeder" male has 3 this year, but he'd have a whole lot more if I had them...
