    Re: When to stop pairing...

I have half a dozen girls I'm still pairing that are taking their sweet time.
    The male in question actually gained a lot of weight when I started breeding him. He went from 550g up to 740g in less than 2 months. Now he's down to 670g but in a holding pattern. He's been around 670g in the 2 months he's been fasting. I'm more worried about over breeding him since he's been locking since late January than I am about his weight loss. I'm hoping the other male (570g) will figure things out pretty soon so I can rotate them through the girls.

    One female (the one who's been paired since October) is the one tat I've seen bowl wrapping and laying slightly inverted. Her follicles are about the size of ping-pong balls. She's parked on the hot side and off feed. The other (only paired since January) isn't showing any building behavior but she is growing follicles. My palpating skills are primitive enough for me to know that she is growing them. She went from no follicles (or so small I couldn't feel them) to know the size of nickles. She's also off feed. Both are still locking. I guess I'll just keep pairing and hope that one of them will ovulate soon enough.

    The one that's been paired since October is the one driving me NUTS. I thought she would have gone by now. The woman I bought her from (who was responsible for pairing her October through early December) even said she had already expected me to get eggs from her. This girl, though I love her to pieces and she is a house favorite, is going to be the one that gives me grey hair.
