How early will leos ovulate

[Keitone]

I know the general rule is not to breed leos that are less than ~45g or ~9 months old. Is this when they can physically start ovulating?

Does ovulation require a male? As in it is triggered by the presence of a male.

They can begin ovulation without a male. If you want to induce it Take the males old substrate(papertowls work the best for this trick) cut all the dirty parts off and put them in the female's cage, but i wouldent sugest going any lower then 45g or 9 months.

Yeah I remember reading about that here, somewhere. I dont have any males atm though, I was just curious.

It seems like we have a few females that start ovulating around 25g every year. Most start closer to 35g-40g.

I was just wondering because I read in a post that females change colors when they start ovulating. Im not trying to breed yet, I still need to get a male.

yup about 25g is the earliest i've seen ovulation in leos.
