My Leo is ovulating ?! first time ..experience

[bebetee]

So I've only had Leo's for only about half a year now ..so this is the first time I have experienced a Leo ovulating ..she is a super mack snow and she can ..totally see the pink patches on her tummy .. I am NOT going to breed her since she's only 6 months ..and only 45-50g's. Is there anything I should do for her? do I just leave her along or is there anything I can give her to make her more comfortable? since she's ovulating ..does that mean she'll drop eggs no matter what? ..

just treat her as normal, feed her as normal. however she may not eat as much as she normally does.
She may lay infertile eggs, but not likely so dont worry about it.
make sure she's getting all the calcium she needs.

Thanks Jordan!! I really wish I could breed, but as of right now
I don't know much about breeding (plus she's not the right age/weight)
..I do have the time and money to put into it
but really need to more research on it. lol

thats great that your doing the research FIRST haha, ive recently found out a lot of people dont do the research before hand.

if your willing to wait and do the research then breeding will be a lot more fun and rewarding

and she'll be ready to be bred very soon, so SHE'S waiting for YOU to be ready haha.

As said you dont really need to do anything different although you may notice her personality changes. She may become more aggressive maybe less aggressive she may eat less than usual. Keep her calcium high incase she decides she wants to lay infertile eggs. I know it dosent matter about the eggs but if she does this and theres not enough calcium it can cause serious problems especially as shes only 6mths old. I have a female who layed eggs last year without breeding and you should treat these exactly the same as you would a female who is laying a fertile egg.But hopefully she wont bother.

All the best:main_thumbsup:
