RE: loepards

Very nice. Which is the female/male? They have different coloration don't they? Have you bred them and had eggs? Lots of questions

RE: loepards

oh ya male is smaller guy little darker. they breed like crazy but never get eggs.... seems like they don't connect? shee goes threw full digging and laying process but no eggs?? hopefully this summer i hope. they are fully bonded if u separate them for longer then a half hour they will pace constantly and not eat. as soon as back together everything is fine and they pig out and relax.

Do you know how old she was when you got her. You said you have had her for five years. Maybe she is just now getting old/big enough to lay. Does sound like she is trying to. Keeping fingers crossed for this summer.

 

[argus333]

she is 11 yrs old so well keep trying.

 

[DesertGrandma]

Keep an eye on her. If she keeps trying to lay with no results she might be egg bound. Are you sure she has not layed and covered up the nest? anyway, I am no breeding expert, so maybe someone with more experience will chime in soon with their opinions/suggestions.

Wow, great pair. I think the female is especially beautiful!

 

[argus333]

well shes done it for yrs so i dont think shes egg bound, i watch the whole process seems like male doesnt connect. i watch her do the phantom dig and nothing comes out. who knows every yr i get ready with my spoon and slowly dig up spots but find nothing.

Cool leos. I have a female that does the same. Got 3 eggs 9 years ago that never hatched. Never seen an egg from her since then.
