Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jkelly" data-source="post: 43928" data-attributes="member: 3746">Okay thanks, I appreciate the advice.  I must need more coffee--meant to say the female is larger <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> but it sounds like that may not be enough even if I rev up the female and slow down the male.  I will still try, but may have to chalk this up to another learning experience unless I can find someone local for the breeding loan since I wouldn't want to stress the poor guy by shipping him somewhere...?  Or should I not be so worried about that?  I guess my stance on breeding is if/when it's a success I would be overjoyed and try to do my absolute best by the slings, but I would never take an eggsac from a mama as she may never forgive me and I would want to give her a chance to do her part naturally.So is it better to risk stressing the guy in order to give him a chance to get his groove on and contribute to the population? <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Thanks again.</blockquote>
