Hey everyone got some questions for you

Chameleon996 Jun 21, 2003 05:50 PM

I havn't posted for awhile, so for those of you that care I am doing fine. I still have my baby veileds, however they are not so baby anymore. They are now about four months old.

When should I start watching her for eggs?
They should be at least a year old before I attempt to breed right?
My male has started eating veggies but my femle insists on eating dead leaves. Why?

To icequeen: sorry it's late but NICE CAGE.

If they aren't separated do it now. Females can start producing eggs at (I think) 5 months, but this is too early to breed. Wait a year so she's fully developed and has solid bone. If she isn't bred she may not necessarily produce infertile eggs. Some do and some don't. When eggs are developing she will gain weight fairly fast, so start weighing her. Not all veileds eat veggies...it seems to be very individual. Just offer a variety and she may find one she prefers.
