How many litters do u let ur females have?

[vamptrev]

just wondering how many litters u let ur females have in a row.

do u do the 3 litters then seperate?

my female just had her 3rd litter. 4 pups the first, 5 the 2nd, and just had 9 today.

she looks very deflated, so im debating letting her go another round...

They will rest themselves.

i have had the pair together for a good six months before with nothing but the male still harased the crap out of her but i agree with mike the female will chill for periods on her own

mine too is on her third litter. i think for keeping the ray as a pet seperating them is best, doing it to make a living or to make some money keep them going!! Mine looks pretty bad.. she is pretty torn up from the harrasing from the male and the smaller hybrid female in the tank with them.

So Mike do you ever seperate them or just let them decide when they are done... ever loose any during birth or during pregnancy?

i cant imagine my male motoro giving her a break if i put them back together. she looks very worn out and she is not very active, i think the male will just rape her if i take the divider down.

i think i might leave the divider up for another week, then take the divider down.

although if he has his way w her, then he will prob leave her be....
