Lockup Questions?

dacherrypicker Mar 20, 2008 10:22 AM

Heres a pic of this last hook up! This is the 5th time they have been together and they are still breeding. That means that she is still not developing correct? Its not the best picture I disturbed them a little bit and they moved. He is still hooking up with all my other girls to. Should I just keep going at it? I leave them together for about 3 days or until they split. Let him alone for about 3 then with a diff female. Any suggestions?

Sounds like you have your male on a good schedule, a few days rest inbetween females is great for them. The male locking up with the female is what helps stimulate the female into developing follicles, keep rotating him through and keep offering them food. Alot of females that are trying to build follicles are usually eager to eat and they need it for big healthy eggs. Good Luck!

They have been looking for food it seems like!! When I open the cage they are ready but they usually wont eat! They are still staying on the warmer side to! How long do you guys think they will keep going at it? Is she just not ready or does he just need to keep making his magic? When I put them together, by next morning they are locked up for a total day if not more! I think im on the right track just kind of getting an idea of what to look for next. They are starting to get real snippy!!
