Default Breeding Question

Hi Everybody,

I have three adult female Leopards(2-3 years) and I have a juvenile male. How big does the male have to be to attempt breeding?

I usually go by 45-50 grams for non-giants.

With the male it doesn't really matter. If he's big enough to do the job, then he's big enough to do the job. It's the females that you need to make sure are big enough to deal with the stresses of breeding.
