Been reading through some messages and posts about breeding etc. I'm not too worried because I really struggled to find any in Manchester and ended up adopting from Liverpool. Its never about the money but it really is one of the most rewarding things i have ever done... watching them grow so quickly and how they come out in the evening and bound about and then run back to me when they realise they have gone a bit too far and then fall asleep on me is just amazing! I'd rather they be neutered and have a new cage than let them go to anyone who wasn't clearly going to love them... they are my little friends!
And Mark, I feel for you getting grief from the girls... they love a guy with a heart really. :0)
Please don't tell me off for having babies so soon... I didn't know it was going to happen and I think I'm doing a pretty good job... If you knew you me you wouldn't be concerned... honest... I breed chameleons and so I know all about high maintenance.
I will take some pics tonight when they wake up so you can have a look and tell me if you think they look OK.
Also, there is so much info on here and if this has been answered before sorry... it would take a month to read all the posts.... My guys have always gotten on really well, never any problems with fighting and they are pretty tame as they are still getting used to me I guess... the occasional drop of honey, a giant meal worm or cricket buys a little love and attention mind you.
They live in my room and we talk allot although I am letting them out now an again as they get more friendly, anyway the other night they were making lots of scary noises and seemed allot more jumpy than normal and there was allot of mating going on too.... one of the guys is clearly the dominant one and it was him and the female... i checked everyone out and kept the joeys out with me for a while until things calmed down... nobody is hurt and all is well again now... please don't tell me off for asking this... do the females come into season and could that have inspired this mad one off night? Is that why this happened or is it something that could continue? I know for someone who has joeys thats a really basic question but its one thing that doesn't seem to be mentioned in any of my books or care sheets and they have only been here for a few months. There only so much you can learn from books which is why this place is so good.. along with experience.
Anyway, I have written allot so I'll stop now but i'm like a sponge as far as anything suggie related goes so hope to get some replies soon!
