Hi

I have two females that is in the 140gram range and a male from september- 09 that is about half the size of the females. Can i breed them this winter? Is there a risk of the females injuring the male because he is smaller in size?

Regards

I'd wait until he is no less than 120 grams and at least 3 years of age.

I think it's more important to wait for him to comparable in size to the female than it is for him to be older. He's not the one carrying the eggs, but he is the one who has to be worthy to breed her.

I'd give him a hard look when he's two or so, and hopefully he's caught up to the females weight by then.
