Early summer of 2008, I guess?

My question is: If I breed her in November, is she considered a two year old or a three year old?

(I also have a 2007 girl who's a dedicated mouse eater and is a little smaller than the 2008. But I figure at her age, as long as she's close to 1500g, she's probably okay?)
This would be considered her third winter(2008) so she is old enough! Short females can start at 1200 grams but longer females should be 1500 grams. I would try her and if she is not ready, she will not go!
