I don't think he's sleepy - he ate 2 days ago
He's bred both of them before - he knows what to do.
I've probed and popped these girls on multiple occassions for the past 2 years I've raised them - they're girls. No other males have been with either of these two girls. This is the same tub they've all bred in previously with no males nearby.
I put the two females with him on Adam's recommendation, and the last time, he bred them both - he was reluctant to breed one of them prior to the buddy breeding.
Thanks Rapture! I do appreciate the support!
