It is in phases like others have said, but when my female is in heat, our male goes crazy...even if we have them in separate rooms (and separate floors) he will cry for hours and hours and keep scratching at the door. We are pretty much forced to send one of them away on vacation to live with "grandma and grandpa" for a few weeks just to get any sleep. The female will usually start humping stuff and her vulva will enlarge to let you know she's getting really to go into heat. First heat can vary quite a bit, can be early like 7 month, or could be almost 1 1/2 years old. I didn't get if you were planning to breed them later or not, but if you are, know that its strict separation for at least a month each heat. The female diapers seem to have too big of hole for the tail to prevent everything and the male diaper is better but messes up the hair a lot with long hair and I still don't trust it 100%. |
