Here's a question about breeding balls. This is my first attempt ever so I'd like to do it right. I've read some guides and stuff on the net but haven't gotten any personal advice.
I live in such a weird place where bp breeding has practically never succeeded so there are no breeders around here. A friend of mine has some bps and they copulated last season, but nothing happened. Is this normal, or does some pairs just not breed together? The couple itself was ok, heavy and old enough to breed and everything looked good, but no eggs.
I have one good couple that I've seen copulating a few times this winter, but what do I do from now on to promote success? I've kept them warm day and night during the summer and turned off the heating for nights in the beginning of november. I put the male in with the female in the beginning of december. Now they have a hot spot during the day and room temperatures during the night. Neither is feeding, the male has lost a little weight but they both seem ok.
When is the best time to heat them back up to summer temps and when should I hope to see an ovulation?
