Anatess: Wow thank you so much for the detailed response! Everything you said makes a lot of sense. I am glad to hear that I can make the 1.1 work. I didn't have my hopes up for selling anything, but I could at least give it a shot if it comes to it. Being careful and taking the father out when the mom drops to skip a cycle sounds like I could keep the stock at a manageable size. And, like ScottNBecky said, I could freeze any extras. I haven't had much luck feeding my BP frozen before, but I didn't try very hard and it was quite a long time ago.

I am working on a single, yet potentially problematic assumption and that is that I have a mixed gender sample. I haven't tried sexing them yet. Perhaps I should take a look into that. I recall finding a thread in here with some pictures so I'll have to find that one again.

Thanks again everyone. I've been away from BP.net for quite a while, and I'm very glad to see its still full of friendly and helpful people!
