>> i was wondering if there are other milks that do not require brumation for mating



people usually think only about temps and brumation; remember brumation is also a period of reduced light periodicity and reduced or eliminated food intake. so to the degree anyone worries about having to brumate their animals because they're not sure how to achieve the right temps, that process can still be partly achieved by turning off the lights and withholding or reducing food.



>>and if its ever possible to breed milks that require brumation without putting them through brumation?



if it's required, of course, then no you can't do without it, obviously, but i think what you're really wondering is whether any of the milks that are reputed to require brumation might in fact not require it. (the English teacher in me made me point that out.



I'll be watching too, to see what answers you get. interesting question.
