I have heard a lot on this forum about avoiding beeding females too young...and it makes perfect sense, because they need that extra body weight to produce the eggs, which is very taxing for the girl....but what about the guy???? I mean, it's not like he "providing" a whole lot to the mix.....The reason I'm asking is that I have a beautiful lil guy that will be 17 months exactly the first week in Jan., and I am anxious to breed him. If he is at least 500g, do you think it would be ok for me to try him out???...or is this too big of a gamble?..or too much stress on him???...I don't want to hurt him in any way....
