The EmberBalls were born late last year, and the male Ember was borderline breedable when I started putting males and females togather this year. I was also torn between feeding the Embers, the two babies, and placing the male in with the adult female and not feeding him as often. Anyways, I never witnessed any copulation between the Ember and the adult female, but they were left overnight on a few occasions, and I did not pull up a chair and sit and stare at them continuously. I put the Pastel male in after the Ember male, as a back up. I figured Pastel Embers would be better than no Embers this year. I do not think it muddies the water at all. The Ember male will be ready to go next year to more than just his mother, and if I breed him to a normal, and get Embers, then it proves them as Dom or Co Dom. If he breeds his mother next year, assuming I do not prove them out this year, then I should know for sure if they are Fires or something different. Also, if I get a Pastel Ember this year, and he is an early bloomer and breeds early next year, I would probably breed him to the adult female next year. I am really looking foreward to breeding the two Ember babies that are het Hypo togather. Anyways, that is the reasoning...
