The first year we were breeding I was flipping out!!! I think I bugged them more than anything. I had to check on them like a billion times. This year I thought I was going to have a horrible season. I was working like 70 plus hours a week and did nothing in prep for breeding except a few heavy feedings for the females. Two out of three females had good litters for me and one had one stillborn and slugs, because I thought she was to small and pulled the male I thought before copulation occurred. I guess I was wrong on both counts. What I am saying is that letting them do there thing is the most important in my opinion second only to your year round husbandry. I think a slight temp drop and the outside conditions get them primed all by themselves. I am sure you will be fine, you have gained alot of knowledge from the best in the business. Good luck, and I hope they prove out. Vinnie
