I have heard of this and had friends that witnessed this first hand. My question is this: Is it possible for a female to give birth one season, then retain a little of the sperm for the next? I ask this because I have a female that gave birth last year and is now getting bigger(mid - lower end), in HCP, hissy like she was when she was prego last year...all with out no breeding attempt...also, she is not eating as regularly as she was a few months ago. She doesn't strike at the food, she just eats it off the floor. I do know that she could just be developing ova and may just slug out. Thanks in advance to all that reply.
