First of all, we got some new additions. No pics yet, but we got a breeder size normal female and a 2013 pastel female for trade for labor. The large female is about 1800g and is actually really light. She bred last season with 5 eggs, but only 3 were fertile and all normal. It was her first time so hopefully this season she will have better luck. We also won a Fire male on an auction for 35 bucks but havent picked him up yet.
Perseus is not eating. We removed him from Medusas cage but he will NOT stop searching for her! Hes getting skinny so we might have to move him to another room so he cant smell them. When I took him out for about an hour yesterday he just chilled in my lap the entire time. I tried after that to get him to eat to no avail. When I put him back in the cage he was on the hunt for the ladies. Going to keep him separate til this weekend (will be a week long break for him) and maybe weds or thurs try to feed him again. If he eats, we'll keep him out a couple more days, if not we'll stick him in with the new female. Most places Ive read online say they will refuse food when breeding and its not like hes deathly skinny, just skinnier than usual.
Medusa is in deep shed right now. She is really dark! I love when she sheds because it seems she's always prettier than the last time :)
Princess Buttercup is really fattening up! All the 2013 females are getting fat. Some may even be ready next season, but likely not. Most likely candidates are the Pinstripe and the Pastel het Pied since we got them larger to begin with so they are older anyway. Blah blah blah! Ready to get this season in fast forward to see if/what Medusa puts out. Since both her and Perseus were random buys as pets with no consideration for genetics there may even be a little surprise. Def will get normals and pastels but a surprise would be fun! I just really hope everything goes OK with her and laying etc. Dont want to have to take her to the vet for something crazy but I will cuz shes my baby! Will add pics of the noobs later!
