First off - Welcome to YT! I would say that she is definately way too young to breed. She should be at least 2 years old, and have gone through a couple of heats before I would even consider it.
I've found that my girls really like to be cuddled and loved a little extra when they are going through it. They are not suffering, just a little moody and uncomfortable maybe - probably just like us!
Just be careful not the let the male around her -- and believe me, he'll try! |
