465. Meet the parents for the 2013 breeding season (round 6 # 2).

Just put these two lovebirds togewther this afternoon (29/04/2013). The female is Karelin, she is the bright coloured hypo. Must say the photo of her is very flattering as she does not look so bright and tangerine in the flesh. Must have got some really good light rays shining on them when we took the photo. The male is our regular returning stud D-ream. This is his 6th mating excursion for the season.

464. The Bronze medal winner is?

Third hatch of the season who we have discovered in the last hour (29/04/2013) is a cracking Mack snow with a bit of jungle on the shoulders. Having rearranged and sorted our eggs out mid incubation we are a bit perplexed as to who the parents are. that said we have narrowed it down to the Sire being either D-ream or Mack puzzle, both Mack morph enigmas. That would make the Dam either Slinky or Bauble who are again Mack morphs. Incubation period, as based on these two parental options is either 58 or 61 days. Calling this baby Haggis and it looks a good 3 gram in weight.

463. Meet the parents for the 2013 breeding season (round 6 # 1).

It has been a poor season so far in terms of succesful hatches with only a meagre two to date. We just seem to be getting clutch aftyer clutch of infertile eggs. However, we have still quite a few pair up to go and are hoping for a better second half to the season. The pair shown in this picture were put together 24/04/2013. The female is the supersnow and is called Fantasia. The male is mackpuzzle a Mack enigma who is getting his 6th mate of the seaon.

462. Meet the parents for the 2013 breeding season (round 5 # 5).

This couple of Tremper red eyed eclipse have just been put together today (14/04/2013). The one on the right is the female who is called Antwerp. The male is Smash. Both are het for Diablo Blanco and our fingers are crossed we might get some cracking babies from this pairing.
