[QUOTE="Phil, post: 173309, member: 4151"] It's a labour of love that's for sure! need to dedicate about 4 hours just for feeding them. It's such a rewarding feeling though. Typically if you have a male a few things to consider 1. try to find someone who has a history of breeding and a good reputation 2. decide if selling the male or want to agree a breeding loan and sling deal. you will need to agree the %split with the owner of the female (typically 50/50 but a lot of people are just happy with a handful so they can hopefully get a female of their own when they grow up). 3. The male normally goes to the female not the other way round and so you may also need to be prepared to post if you cant find a female locally. 4. Mating is dangerous for the male, some more so depending on species, and so be prepared he may not live to tell the tale. This is nature and it can be cruel. My male Avic kwitara became lunch today. I dont have a female of that species, sorry. Hope that helps :) [/QUOTE]
