Breeding plans and projects 2025
Pairings are now complete for this season!
The first clutches have all been laid, and we've seen an unprecedented success rate; all pairings have produced fertile eggs! We made a few changes to husbandry this year, with larger enclosures and more varied enrichment. I'm extremely happy with the results.
