Q: Double Clutching in BP's
Posted By:

"Inara" [BBC02]

I noticed one of my female breeders tonight acting like she is gravid. She just laid in April. Would this be considered "double clutching"? Also what's the success rate of this? She hasn't been with a male since last year so it would have been retained sperm.. A bit worried that this is going to cause some serious issues :(

It is what it is  .. If it is happening there's nothing you can do about it  just treat her as if she is Gravid  and see what happens ..

I've never heard of it happening and I did some searching and I can't find any cases where they have double clutched, so if she does end up laying let us know, cause I'm sure anything is possible.

I've had a girl go 10 months from clutch to clutch....unintentionally. Didn't have any problems. Trooper Walsh also had a female chondro lay twice within 10 months. I don't remember the details on his case.
