| richardsc, your posts are a bit difficult to read and could probably use a few full stops.
Your points form the crux of the argument for artificial incubation, and I am more then aware that there is more then just 2 months that breeding females wouldn't be feeding. I was merely pointing out differences between the 2 methods. Part of the argument for maternal incubation is that we shouldn't breed year-on-year and that the time taken for the female to put condition back is natural reproductive rate limiting. |
