Plans need to be adjusted

Well, last night, I checked my animals that are getting ready to be involved with each other, females and males.

Females, I checked for weight.

Males, I checked for sperm plugs.

Here comes the problem...

Some of my most planned for males this year are yet to produce sperm plugs. They are a year old, but are not ready. This puts a major cog in my clock of planning, people!

Which males am I having a problem with?

Well... My Pastel het Ivory, and my Bumblebee. I was very very excited to be able to use them, but they are NOT ready.



Well, what to do, friends? What to do???

I plan to do what I can, which includes feeding them, and still putting them into rotation. But what if they don't come around???

I am not sure...

I always have a backup male, but I was really hoping to be able to do KillerBees with Spotty McGillicutty this year.



So, what to back up Spotty and the PYB with???

I have the Pastel Lesser, the Sterling, and the LemonBlast that are all proven.

I have the recessive males as well, but I never mix recessives and co-doms in breeding one female.

So here I am, stuck in a rut...

No matter what you plan, it never goes the way you would hope!

*sigh*

My breeding pairings will begin on Thursday.

Lets see what happens.
