I'm already thinking about the upcoming season and who I'm pairing with who. Akina is gaining weight after laying eggs this season. She was around 1300g after laying 6 eggs (she was a little over 1800g when I started pairing her). She is now 1466g on an empty stomach and having pooped. If she laid on May 4th, when could I start considering pairing her up? How long of a rest should I give her?

Sadis is gaining weight like crazy. When I got her in August of 2007, she weighed around 90g. Now almost 2 years later, she's 940g. I will be pairing her with Xefaud, my 100% het pied male. 50% poss. het pieds!

Shane is a little slower to gain weight. She's only around 850g. She will be paired with Auxy, our spider male. I will of course wait till everyone is up to 1500g but its fun to think about who's going to be paired with who.

So for the 2009-2010 season I'm hoping for spiders, pastels, and 50% poss. het pieds.

I highly doubt I could get my pinstripe girl up to weight for the season. She's only 500g (picky eater for a long time). There is no way she'd put on 1000g in time. She's now eating 2 adult mice a week, but I'm going to bump her up to rats next week.

So what is everyone else planning for the next season?
