Ant breeding question

[Justdragons]

Ive had my stimis in together for a few months now. I see them hook up all the time, everyday id say. I think I saw her ovulate when I started the gravid girls thread. Would it be safe to say he hasnt been up to the task this year?
If they are still at it I would assume she isnt gravid?

Should I seperate my pair and try again next year?
He seems to be searching for food at night time? Should I seperate and feed them now??

Any advice from people with experience with this would be great if you understand what im getting at?

Cheers Toby

JD your girl is probably the goods if refusing.... but if mating is still going on keep introducing the male it won't hurt in any way. I only permanently remove males after no action for 3-4 weeks of putting male in and out and seeing nothing.
MR doesn't look good if the female is feeding but dont take it as gospel as some people have claimed to females feeding on small meals while gravid ? I myself have never had a female feed while gravid.

Cheers

If she's shed but refused to eat, you may be in with a chance. Keep your eyes on her from about day 20 onwards and you mayaswell chuck in a lay box now for her (if she is gravid). I'd also remove the male, but it's your call.

I removed the male and put in a lay box. Atm im on day 16 post shed and tonight witnessed this.. quit an unusual position for her..

Heres to hoping. If so im so proud of them.


You think she looks fat??

A full body shot would certainly help ascertain whether or not she is gravid, however, looking at that pic, I would say more than likely as she appears belly up.
Good luck with her..
