The ambient temp difference from day to night being 3-5 degrees lower is the important factor -- if there is one. Balls will adapt to what you are doing to breed. I do like to have a COOLER end of the rack for girls to build. I am sure you are doing just fine -- don't stress!!
Thanks Bill! The wierd thing about it is my males didn't do much this last introduction. I noticed the night drop today and put 2 and 2 together. I have females that are on constant heat and are locking and building, but, for some reason the ones that were on night drop noticed the temp changes and weren't very receptive. Thanks for your reply.
