BREEDERS!!!!............need advice...........read on>>>>>>>>>

cv768 Dec 28, 2003 04:47 PM

Ok we cooled the leos by turning down the temps, reduced light hours and feeding now we've finally finished turning the temps back up and returning feeding and lighting to normal...we seperated the males from the females at this time...

Now, just yesterday we put our two males in seperate groups with three females each...should we seperate the males after a week or so???

Also, how long until we can expect a breeding occurance???

you should notice breeding almost imediately (you will here the tail rattle hehe) male leos are horney.
make sure the females are up to weight after cooling 50 grams in my opinion... i do not cool my leos but regardless the females weight needs to be good...... keep the males in with the females until you get good fertile eggs
justbecause the male breeds em doesnt mean they are gravid. the females need to ovulate and once they do that and the male breeds ,eggs will come. sometimes ovulation will come quick and other times it might take the female a while to ovulate so be patient
