I have a 9 month old female runner called Daphne, and I recently bought her a boyfriend called Felix - another Indian Runner.
He's very handsome and I was told he was 5 months old, that was 2 months ago.
He's definitely a male, with the curl in his tail and the manly duck voice...
But a part from some chatter and flirty courting and 'copy-cat' head and neck movements, they still haven't mated.
She sometimes gets very excited and tries to wind him up, but he just seems a bit baffled.
When should he start mating? Is he too young? Is there something I can do?
She is still laying even though it's mid winter, and it's a very mild winter at that.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks.
Kate.
