Just because they can breed doesn't mean they should. Using a mammalian example; female dogs will go into heat at 5 or 6 months of age, but breeding them when they're this young will cause a lot of stress and problems for the mom, because she's still a puppy herself at that age. A little patience can go a long way as far as insuring the overall health of your animals.
