first time breeder questions

well i just paired up my cresties for the first time and a couple of issues popped into my head last night.

what do you do in the case of a female becoming egg bound? (im fairly familiar with the symptoms, just not the remedy)

what do you do if the female cant fully pass an egg (half in half out)?

im not sure how common these issues are but i would like to at least be informed on how to handle them should the need arise.

also,thanks for all the great tips and advice over the past year. i couldnt have done it without all of you!

Re: first time breeder questions

I've heard of soaking females in a deli cup with only just a little bit of warm water to help alleiviate egg binding. I forget where, so I cant site, but I figured I'd throw that in there.

I've never heard of the other thing happening, but I'll stick around for tips!

Re: first time breeder questions

yeah, the second one seemed kinda odd lol but the question came up in another forum so im assuming it can happen. thats the only time ive heard of it though, so maybe it was an isolated incident.

Re: first time breeder questions

Maybe! It still would be cool to hear from the experts here. (It's my first time breeding too!) Good luck
