    HELP: Breeding and I see blood

    My normal female has locked up with my normal male several times and is has gotten really fat :-) but now when I see her com out of her water tub there are little specks of blood. Like 6-7 drops on her bedding. I am really worried and I have tried to find info on it but I can't. Please let me know if your females do this or should I take her to the vet?

    I think I've read something like a tiny bit of blood is normal during breeding. The experts will know for sure. Don't panic, in any case!

    After locking with male there are always small blood trails on the paper bedding we use. This is totally normal and actually a good sign that there was active breeding

    The way you've described it, it sounds completely normal and you should be okay
