The wet spot

Gimptafied Oct 12, 2008 04:40 AM

It's my first time breeding balls. I put girl in with boy, hung out to make sure both parties were ok with the arrangement and went about my day. I checked in later to make sure things were ok and noticed the paper was wet. I figured they might have tipped the water bowl or something and took it out. Next day, more wet paper and urates. Ok... not the water bowl. Today I caught it! Is that sperm there on the paper? Do I have a premature ejaculater? What's going on? This wasn't in any of the books or guides.

Females will pass urates when being courted,you should also see small blood streaks. Males will leave wet spots after releasing from the females.Also they can and will hook up more than once in a days time.Good luck

.....runout from her after the fact will look like egg whites or snot..usually yellow snot.....to put it scientifically.....
