So - I'm kindof having a "do over". I brought the Goobers inside.
They're so small and it's getting cold...and I like 'em where I can see 'em and laugh at 'em....
I kept 7 - 1 M Tibetan; F: 2 A&M, 1 E. White, 1 Roux dilute, 1 Tibetan, 1 golden
15 min. after they came inside, they were doing their best impresions of dead quail (laying down, legs out) and seemed pretty happy about it.
I gave them some pine shavings w/DE in their box and some fresh alfalfa shake in the cage today. They immediately took some crazy baths....in the shake......yep: Goobers!
A week or two before laying resumes? Whaddaya think? Once they do...I will throw a few in the 'bator...see how the fertility rate is 1/6....worth a try? With a dark male and white females...maybe some tuxes? Should I get them a new boyfriend now or wait and see? Maybe a new boy and new girl to make it 2/7?...or would 2/8 be better? {Note: I do max out at 10 in the dining room!}
Thanks for any input!
