how late is too late?

[horse_chic89]

i was wondering what was the latest that i should breed taria, i don't think i would ever get the chance to, but if say i were?

[sarah1984]

don't wait over a year, but make sure she is at LEAST 6 months. Just remember if you DON'T have homes set up for babies you are stuck with them. I had a hard time in bridgewater finding homes for all mine, and I know Vanessa STILL has babies she coudln't sell. Also READ READ READ, if you plan on breeding her my e-mail is sarah@hoglets.com come to me with any questions and I'll help you.

really, vanessa still has babies!!
i did not know this!

[sarah1984]

she does... the pet store won't take them, and she can't get rid of them. bridgewater is a hard place for all that unless you have the right connections. I never sold any in b'water, usually shipped and traveled

wow i thought that i got the last one, i guess that i was wrong how many does she have left??

[horslvr123]

I read somewhere that if the female was healthy, you could breed up till they were 18 months.

[horse_chic89]

ok thankyou!

[Chins&1Quill]

Up until 18 months...does that mean the first breeding and first litter the hedgie has or that they can't be older than that to have a litter?
I have no intentions on breeding and don't even have 2 hedgies, just curious. ;)

[sarah1984]

it's safer to not go over a year.
vanessa had one or 2 boys left I think.

i feel bad for her, i would take one, but you know, Taria and them are brothers, so i couldn't breed them either!
