Do you think the female is in any danger having been with 2 males???? I dont mind DNA testing the males and the litter that is not a problem. He only was with her the one time that I caught her and has been separated since. Now that I separated the other male from her, she is not happy with me. Do I keep them separated for the whole heat cycle and them see if she is pregnant? I am sure that my older male has tied with her and she is pregnant. He has never missed yet. The little boy that tied with her was on her for about well less than 30 seconds and they were untied, my other male well he is stuck for a long time with her. |
Just a bit of info. She may or may not have conceived from both of them. It's very dependent on when she ovulated.....the eggs she drops stay alive for 48 hours. If both of them bred her on the same day....very good chance that the pups can be from both. Is it dangerous for her, no. My only concern is how prolific she is, her size and how many pups she can safely carry to term.
I would keep them all seperated for her entire cycle.
Oh! you don't have to have a tie to impregnate. All that is necessary is for the initial ejaculation to result in a litter.
As for your crazy boys.....vanilla is one thing to try. I use Calm Downs, get it at PetSmart. My boys do go off food and get little sleep. Be careful with the young one...make sure he's eating....keep NutriCal on hand and I keep DYNE on hand to supplement the boys with extra calories.
