female panther
i took my panther in for a visit to the vet clinic yesterday, and for fun, we x-rayed her. To my surprise (well, not so much if you remember my post a few weeks back) she has a few eggs in her. I am excited for her first lay, but also curious.......
For those of you with female panthers, how many have had one for years that never laid eggs?
My panther shows no signs of being gravid, no digging interests and her appetite is the same as always. She is just over a year old now.
Does anyone think she may need stimulus of seeing a male to initiate the breeding cycle/hormones in her? I was just thinking that for an animal that spends its life in camoflauge, it may be advantagious not to waste a reproductive oppertunity until a mate has been found.... Any comments?
