but if you are acquiring more, than I would say 2.5 would be great. Joe

I've always put 1.4, or 1.5 ratio. Worked pretty good so far!
Good Luck!

My breeding groups consist of some different ratios 1.1 1.2 2.2 2.3 2.1 etc honestly I don't think there is a "by the book" way to go about breeding groups. I'm of the mindset of a more even ratio as I feel that trying to extend males to many females(not in all cases)doesn't lead to great success. Most mature males are good breeders and well success is based off of a number of other factors! Good luck with picking up and breeding your animals.
