I am sure it has been covered before. I read through some of the sticks on here. I was wondering. I know BP are not supposed to be bred until the appropriate size, weight, age. But this is more of a curiosity question. When do males and females usual mature? What age and weight? Can a female that turned 1 in October ovulate or is that too early. I only ask because I have been weighing in once a month. My female has been on weans to small rats the entire time I have owned her. It was cleaning day yesterday as well as weigh ins. She just looked beefy to me. I know she isn't full grown yet and she has still some growing to do. But I noticed from even last week her middle section is chunkier. Now I have had a BP with urate constipation issues so I immediately checked the area. Was hard or didn't feel like it was a mass or anything. It is just her body. So that got me thinking that, could she be forming some follicles? I am very new to this so I am just looking for everyone's insight. Thanks.
