Fall babies?

[nita]

Hi all, just a question about when BP's lay and hatch. Everything I've found says that breeding is normally in March/April ya know spring so do BP's double clutch and also lay in the fall? Just curious, if my BP's are in the right weight range I might cool them and see if anything comes of it next spring. All three of mine though were hatched in the winter. My male hatched in November and my Females both were from December. So how does that work if you would normally start cooling in November?? Also I have read conflicting info on whether or not to feed, one sheet suggested offering food to the females while in brumation every couple weeks wich is what I did this winter even though I wasn't cooling them they still dropped off feeding to only 1 meal a month. Now both my females will eat 2 mice at a feeding. I offer every saturday. My male ate post fast for 2 weeks no prob but refused this last week, Demetae took his and hers with no prob and Isis ate hers and I had to go buy another one for her. Both the girls are visibly bigger than him when put side by side even though he is the "oldest" I know that is normal. I am going to start offering them each 2 mice at a sitting, (I don't know where to get live rats in Edmonton).
