preparing for breeding

nagatamer May 18, 2003 03:46 PM

hello all how is everyone his evening? i hope well. i have a question about breeding. i have two balls which i believe one is male and the other is female. my male is smaller than my female and i was wondering how i would go about gettingthem prepared for possible breeding in like a year or two. im not sure of thier ages- my female is fairly small and she has a ways to go in reguards to getting as large as my other one- but when i took them to the vet the dr said i should feed her once every two weeks but i tried feeding her diffrently yhis week i gave her two mice last week and one this week and she ate them all so should i be feeding her two mice a week or what? im a lil confused- i think my big boy is a lil piggy but i dont want them to not be eating right. so what is everyones advise? i refuse to spend 100$ on a book when i have a website where there are experienced people to ask. i have to get a scale to weigh them so im sorry i cant tell height stanley is almost 4 ft and naga is about 2 1/2 ft- hope that helps thanks all
