My smallest planned breeding this year was my largest female pastel. Before I decided to breed her, I watched her eating habits for a while, and knowing that she was a really amazing eater before she was bred, I decided to let her do it. Started breeding her at 1200, she stopped eating around 1500, and laid 7 perfect eggs on October 19th. She is not back to being close to 1500, and has a few hundred grams to go before she is back to what I would call a healthy weight.

I also got a 50% poss. het ghost, who arrived at 760gms, she was a little underweight, and three months after she arrived she was up to 1350gms, and refusing food. Then she started doing a pre-ovulation soak, and wagging her tail, so I put a het ghost male in with her... Her pre-lay shed was one month ago today. So, any minute now. Her eggs look like they are going to pack up their yolks and leave if she doesn't kick them out.
