    Getting the girls back up to weight

    I just wanted to share this since so many member stress about not being able to get their girls back up to weight in time for next breeding season.

    This girl laid March 22nd, she was 1,600 grams at the start of breeding season (in October) and stopped eating November through March



    I forgot to take her weight after laying, but here she is today sitting at 1,583 grams. So in 4 months she gained almost all of her weight back. My goal for each girl is to have her gain all of her weight back and then some by the next breeding season. This girl is well on her way!

    All of my girls are bigger than they were when I started pairing them last October. Except for the one that laid last week of course. I love how they eat voraciously when they start back up again.

    a female can put her weight back on very fast.

    Wow very nice! I really wish I would have taken a post lay weight, she lost a lot since since refused to eat for 5 months! She's loving her food now!
