Difficulties in breeding?

Keep in mind, even with "easier" species you could have bad years. Dying females, no babies, babies that don't eat, ****** odds, males that won't lock,

So it's not all rainbows but it's exciting

Slugs and stillborns, eggs that won't hatch, babies that die right out of the egg, babies that won't eat and slowly wilt away, babies that just don't make it. The list of downsides is long, but IMO the excitement of seeing those little faces poking out of eggs and the joy of raising these amazing creatures and the pride of seeing an animal you've cared for from the time they were tiny becoming a parent far outweighs the downsides.
