brumation??

[leopardgeckos96]

im having no luck breeding this year and i was wondering if i should brumate for a couple weeks and if so how would i go about doing that???
im not sure why they arent breeding i have three females a one male and none of the geckos show any interest in each other (breeding). they are all in seperate tanks and i put the male in each geckos tank for a week then switched them to the others for a week etc... and its been about 3 weeks and im not seeing anything
Any help???
Thanks

Were your females ovulating ?

How long have you been trying? Some breeders don't start until later...and not all cool them.

Have you bred before? The female may not be ovulating...if that's the case it's pointless to put a male in there.
Here's a pic of a female ovulating if you aren't sure what it looks like http://geckoforums.net/showthread.php?t=56343&page=2

Hope this helps!

i bred last year and got two infertile eggs (probably cause it was her first year) but one hasnt bred yet and the other has but not by me
im not sure if they were ovulating ill check to see if they are ovulating now tho
Thanks

i just checked and it doesnt look like anyone of them is ovulating

That is probably why, you shouldn't put a male in there if your female is not ovulating, she's not receptive and if they male tries to breed with her, she will most likely bite him back, and could cause serious damage to your male.

so what should i do? just keep waiting?
because i tried that last year and nothing happened

 

[prettyinpink]

You got bad eggs last year because (if there's no health issues, and they're both proven) you probably didn't breed when she was ovulating.

Yes, you'll have to wait until she ovulates.

ok

Check her belly every night. When you see the pink spot you will know to stick the male in with her.
