did I miss out
we back in nov. I decided not to try and breed my '10 pin female (1100g in nov.) I was content with that, Until today lol. I opened her tube and there she was in full blown ovy, I know she has been packing it on this winter, didnt miss a meal. I through her on the scale and she tipped 1600.
My question is did I do the right thing waiting or should I have started pairing her late season when she hit 1500. Or should I pitch my stud in there right now and cross my fingers.
Basicly, what would you do in this type of situation.

I think it was smart of you to wait, b/c if you breed too early and the female gets pregnant, that could lead to body deformation and prove fatal! The perfect conditions for breeding are 1500g on her second winter.

If you didn't breed her how is she ovulating? Or am I misunderstanding?

If she's ovulated the eggs will either be fertile or not. There's nothing more you can do at this point. She's a year old and I would have waited but if Shes ovd she's done until she lays.
Basically I think you did right waiting.

correction she is a 09 LOL sorry but the weights are all right. she has never been exposed to a male atleast not in my care and I got her as a hatchling.
"If you didn't breed her how is she ovulating? Or am I misunderstanding?"
My understanding that a female can go gravid and reabsorb or slugg out if she hasnt been bred, I may have been miss informed, but both of these would require ovy, no. Clarification is always welcome.

Yes I believe that's right. Females can ovy without being bred. They will just slug out. After ovy they will not reabsorb.
