My girls are stubborn!

Melinda666 Apr 06, 2006 09:00 PM

Have two adult normals that my albino fellas romanced repeatedly in Dec, Jan and first part of Feb. Now the fellas want nothing to do with the girls. Any chance these girls may be gravid? I keep putting the males in with the females at least once a week, but they aren't showing any interest at all in the girls. And neither girl has shed since the courting.

Yes, that is a great site. I have been there many many times. Very helpful. But I still have a question. Why are my boys not romancing the girls now? Are the girls not receptive any more?

Is she surrounding him...like he is a clutch of eggs?

Yes, there was alot of surrounding. But for the last 2 week, the males seem to stay far away.

My male was breeding up too 7 different girls and hooked up with them almost every time since October. But about a month ago, he just lost interested. Maybe its because I raised the temps, or he just didn't feel like breeding anymore. Who knows. If your girls DIDN'T TAKE, just keep trying them.

Thanks for the help! I'll keep putting them together and maybe eventually I will see some pearly whites.
