Hi,
I have asked this before but cant remember the reply, i have a 3 year old female at just over 100g and doesn't seem to want to grow any bigger? How much do they need to weigh to breed them? Lindsay?

sounds like you are on tract and ready to go. my females that have clutched are 95.5gr, 150gr. and 90.7gr. and within 6 weeks of laying are right back up to the same weight. i have one more for next year that is 124.7gr. that i plan on breeding. tom
