i would figure its because you could "spread the wealth" better with a male rather than a female. male you could breed to many females and produce more babies as well as breed the males earlier. are they really 3k more? wow.

Male will be breedable much sooner than females. A male also has the potential to breed multiple females in a season. These things add up to the potential more a quicker and bigger return on the investment of purchasing one. My .02, anyways.....

just the return from breeding them alone is cause to pay more. sunglows, hypos, anerys, normals the sunglow could be paid back with the first litter alone.
