| Ketone test strips I saw on some forum, that some people are using Ketone test strips to find out "best days" for breeding. Is anyone knows anything about it? |

| I have used this years ago and alot of the breeders used this too. It seems to work just fine. I think that the strip gets green dots on it when the girl is ready. I havent used them in years as usually the boys know when it is time. |

| Yeah they're pretty expensive. Once you get to know your girls you get a feel for their fertile days. The #1 clue for me is flagging. If the girl is lifting her tail up and to the side when you run your hand down her back or put a tissue up to her booty...then she is probably ready. |

| OK. I went to pharmacy and find out that there is no longer such thing as urine Glucose test only, but there are Tests for Urine,Glucose, and Ketone in the same strip. I think I'll get one! it's not that expensive. 100 tests about $16 . I think I'll give it a try. drugstore.com - online pharmacy & drugstore, prescriptions filled |
