i am unsure of the lowest reasonable breeding weight for a female corn as i would like to try mine with a much larger male corn would this cause any problems etc , the female is 5-6 years old but she has always been very small and has passed 2 lots or 6-8 eggs .

at 5-6 years old it might be healthier if she was around the 500g mark............ but 300g is the generally accepted minimum as people have stated above

yeah, at least 300g and in very good condition before breeding!

yeh the smaller the clutch the younger n underweight the female best waiting till the advised 300grams you dont wont to risk losing her . Passing eggs already doesnt go for anything mine had 5 eggs only saved one she was 100grams (check my other posts). not worth the risk especially with a much bigger male. as he can bully into it abit (unconcented get ma drift)n totally stress out her n her pregnancy i have heard the whole situation if that bad, can result in death by all parties.

yeah i didnt think it was alot it may of been a little more as it was a few years ago and i cant remember exacylty but it was only a small clutch
KITTYCAT Posted - 09/09/2009 : 03:26:28
feed her up quite a bit cause 6-8 eggs suggests she is really small for her age it is dangerous if she aint up to it wait n c what her weight is.

yeah thats not bad then il weigh her 2moz and find out what she's at . she needs feeding up a bit anyway i think

300grams is the minium really,if shes passed eggs all ready she should be fine
