Who holds the record for Largest Litter?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
For those with big litters, do you see fluctuations after a series of births?
For example, mine would do two medium size litters, then a large one, then go a few months and return to pupping with a rather small litter.... then start the pattern over again.
 
With my two largest female leo 28-36" we get 8-9 pups each litter, they will breed 4-5 times in row and then rest themselves for 6-9 months. But litters don't get much smaller. On other hand with my medium size female breeders 20-26" we will get 2-6 pups per litter and they always seem to vary.
 
I don't breed leo's, but for motoros the most I've had was 12. Here's a list of most of the breeders I have, their litter sizes, birthdates, and sex ratios.

Give me a sec....gotta format the list better

GREAT LIST! SOME BIG NUMBERS!

Some of those dates are spread out, usually they breed right after birth, why are some of yours not? Are they seperated when pregnant? If not they may be having real long pregnancys.
 
Some of the delays are due to me separating the males to give the females a break. Some of the delays I don't have an explanation for.

I hope the info helps. There is so much we don't know yet.....
