How small can males breed?

[OhhWatALoser]

I will have to weigh our Pastel Calico. He is a little guy, but loves the ladies. I do know that my original DH Pied Albino was sired by a 290g male. The 290g male belonged to a friend and sired 6 clutches that year.

6 clutches a year is impressive on it's own, what a trooper.

Heres the thing, some males might sexually mature smaller. But most ppl say breed at 500 + grams because many males won't eat while breeding. So a animal a couple hhundred grams could drop a dangerous amount of weight. I recently paired a 400 gram male, but only did so because he eats like a monster and has continued doing so while he is breeding.

If it becomes a problem, I would no doubt stop and get them back to where they need to be. I guess I will find out if he's willing to eat tomorrow, along with the other 2. All 3 eat great.

OWAL... how old is that male of yours?

born 8-28-13, so little over 5 months.
