Rainer this was not the case with my thayeri. I would tend to think that in the presents of ovulating (or about to ovulate) females the males "interest" would switch from eating to breeding but that's not what happened three years running. I attribute the increase in fertility I did see this year to the brief cycling period I gave them. I think the results would have been better except that this past winter was very mild.

From my read of John's post, I believe he's providing that cold period where food is neither taken nor offered.
