I would call them wild caught since you collected a gravid female. There was nothing to do with captive breeding so according to Bob they can't be F1's. As long as you never introduced it to a captive male since you've had her. If however, she was ovulating when found and you brought her home and put her with a male that could of bred her without you observing copulation, well then you'll never know if she was gravid when found or just swelled up from ovulation. Just my 2 cents. Either way, congrats on quadrupling, quintrupling etc. your alterna numbers. I never got so lucky. BA
