Let me set this up. 2 female Westerns go on a 4 mths fast over the summer. Both finally start eating in September. A male received at the same time as the girls eats the entire time. (yeah Jim these are yours ) So while cleaning cages in November, I put the male in with one of the girls so I can give the cage a good scrubbing, and lo and behold, this!!

I thought nothing of it, because of it being SO off season. I did not cool the girls because of the long fast. Just kept feeding them once a week. Well, to my complete surprise, I found this yesterday!!

6 beautiful eggs, one maybe, and one slug. Now mama is a healthy girl, weighing 254g after laying yesterday.

So, how wierd is this for their season to be messed up like this, or is it fairly common??

Whoa!,Now that's some cool stuff!Just think about the head start you have on "breeding season".I wish you were in N.C.,preferably on the Va. border.I have a trio of eastern hogs that I can't breed because I live in Va.That SUX!! Jeff
