Isn't this fun.....

Well, my sunglow jungle had been swelling up for quite some time, but just wouldn't seem to ovulate. Some of you might remember last year that I had great luck by moving females into smaller tubs to get them to ovulate. So I tried that with this girl, and not three days later.......

A couple of days ago with a little pre-ov twist:

Later that night:

The next day:

I hope everyone is having fun this season. It is nice to have such a fun distraction in these tough times. Best of luck to everyone this year.

Last year when you moved some females to smaller tubs, how many females ovulated for you?

Hi Chad,

I was two for two last year with that method. I only do it with smaller females. I think it makes them feel more secure. Just a guess though.

I am so excited for you.

I can't wait to see the babies from this litter.

They should be over the top.

Cool idea, one other thought, instead of moving to a tub, how about a large hide in the cage? Do you think that might provoke the same response??

Lotsa cool stuff coming at all of us!!!!!
