    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

congratulations on the new babies

..and one heck of a ratio hypo:normal. :D

Just curious as to what you think was the cause for the unfertile ovas. First time time breeder? Male not left with her long enough?

And also, what do you do, personally, when you have a female drop some? Do you leave them there for mom to clean up and get those nutrients and liquids back, or do you take them out and chuck them?

Just curious,
 
Great pic... Always cool to see birthing pics.

I am curious about the same things Jungle was asking
