....at 20 mm they can go either way depending on conditions...it's important to get a male on these females at this point...with one male you'll have to rotate him fairly quickly...sjm

Hello,

Presently speaking... I have not had one over 18mm absorb the follicles. However I have heard of follicles at about 26mm being absorbed. My best advice is if follicles are growing at a steady rate and then stop growing for a while it is really important to breed her ASAP. I have had a few females get up to about 18-20mm and then stop for about a month or so. Once I began breeding them again it seemed like the follicles started growing again. Almost like they had to be reassured for sucess?? I don't know just sharing my experiences.

Good luck with her...
