I am doing some reasearch now.
Please don't jump down my throat, I do know that happens often.

Hi! Well, deffinatley the first thing is research, research, research
I personally like my females to be over 5lbs. And its best that they be over 18 months old, and deff, not their first heat.
Lots can happen, thats for sure. I know first hand. I've not had one single easy delivery yet. So please, do consider lots can go wrong.
I spent 3 months of round the clock 24/7 bottle feeding a cleft pallate baby. Up every 1 hour round the clock , then every 2 hours, plus working a full time day job too. So its best you have the available time for things that can arise.
I would just do LOTS of reading up on the subject before you decide, since you have plenty of time to prepare. There is alot to learn, thats for sure. I'm still learning! I don't think we can ever know it all.
But good luck in what you decide!!!! If you ever have questions I am here!!! Just send me a PM if you'd like!
Good luck!!!!
