Pregnant Emerald

henke2 Feb 18, 2007 03:38 AM

Hi
I cycled my emeralds in oct/nov and put them together in the beginning of december and I´ve seen them mating at least 20 times. I have now seperated them and the female looks fat and has looked that way for 1 1/2 months now. She had her last meal 5 week ago defecated after that, and is now refusing food. What I have not seen is ovulation, at least I think so.Is it possible to miss ovulation? I´m a bit confused?

I´m also looking for europen breeders of amazon basin emeralds. Would like to buy 2 or 3 animals this year.
I´m Henrik from Sweden by the way

Regards
Henrik

Yes it is very possible to miss the ovulation.

Some ovulations may be more discreet while others more evident. Your female is quite probably pregnant. Yes
