Breeding Help!

[David C]

Hey guys/gals! im new to the forum and had a few question

This is my first year breeding, but i have worked on my collection for over 2 years now, i have 8 females and 2 males ( they are all breeding age) i have been breeding since November, 4 girls to each male, they each locked up at least 5 times if not more, but i have not seen any ovulation at all, sometimes i think they look swollen sometimes im not sure??? i have a few girls in their water bowl right now, and 1 girl that lays inverted at times. Maybe i don't know what im looking for, or maybe i missed them? its been almost 4 months since the 1st lock, and we are about to start bringing temps back up.. should i expect that all the girls ovulated and i missed it, or what should i expect? starting to feel a little discouraged here....... any help will be appreciated!!
Thanks!

Hi,

Have you checked out this page yet?

And I would also try and learn how to palpate - Ralph Davis has some good videos on youtube;

YouTube - Pet Project 08 - part 1 ( follicles )

Or you could go nuts and buy an ultrasound.
