Well ya need more than just 6 females and a few males LOL

The best way to explain it all to you is to just let you read the link below.

Its pretty easy to follow, and explains everything quite well. You may do things a bit different but it answers most of your questions.

It's not difficult, just need some time to do it!

Good Luck in breeding
