Just wondering if anybody elses BCC were still hooking up. I'm still seeing courting and the occasional hookup, but haven't seen an actual ovulation. It just seems that lots of people have females that have either given birth or are well on their way.

Thanks,

Marcus

my BCI's are still at it. Stronger than ever actually but I think that was spurred on by a couple of meals after I hadn't fed them for a couple of months due to anticipated breeding.

I've STRONGLY revised my stance on feeding during breeding season this year just because of the increase in activity 2 days after feeding (which is when I reintroduce them) and for weeks after. Just so there's no confusion, I feed much smaller meals during courtship. For example, if I normally feed a 240 gram (XL) rat, I'll give an 80 gram (medium) rat instead.

If you notice a lull (a couple of days) in the activity and it's not because she's swelling and has ovulated, throw each animal a very small meal, give a day and a half to two days to digest and put them back together! Take precautions though to ensure they don't mistake each other for food because the smell of rat is all over their body from biting and wrapping it up. I take a spray bottle and hose 'em down (which can also stimulate breeding activity in and of itself).

April and May have always been my most consistent months for actuall copulations and ovulations usually occuring in May and June. especially as it has concerned Peruvians. This Black Peruvian should be ready for an ovulation in a few more weeks, she is showing some nice follicular developement.......John J

Those are some beautiful Peruvians.

One of my suris ovulated about a couple of weeks ago, another female looks like she might of ovulated this past week. BCC make you wait longer than the BCI and seem to go later.
