Hi,
Just wanted to know if anyone could help me with my first GTP breeding attempt! They have been mating for over a month. 3 days ago the female showed a general swelling and moved from the cool end to directly under the heat panel and turned her coils sideways. Yesterday she then moved back to the cool end. I offered the male a rat last night which he didn't want, so offered it to the female who ate it like it was the last rat on earth! Today she is back under the heat panel with coil slightly sideways. My concern after checking Maxwells book again is that he says the female goes of feed prior to follicle development, but then he says that ovulation takes place around 30 days after follicles and he has had females eat 9 days prior to ovulation. Do you think my female has undergone follicle dev even though she is still eating?
