A common discussion thread revolves around the "is my female big enough to breed" issue. Just for infromation purposes, I thought I would share some data.
I had two 2 year old girls that I was hoping to breed this year. The were both in the 1350-1400 gram range at the end of last November when I start cooling and breeding (they were both quite thick, not too skinny). After much debate, I decided to go ahead and give them a shot, as I am trying to prove out a project that I have been waiting on for some time.
Anyway, both bred repeatedly, both took 1 rat after the spring warm up, and both laid 3 egg clucthes. One was 3 @ 335 grams, and one was 3 @ 299 grams. We'll see how they do next year.
