Cool weather seemed to leave a few sluggish today

Though the biggest kunnanurra was straight onto the big fiesty kunnanurra lass today,young male covered her once in late may,may have been an excited male covering

Big males been having goes but giving up but has been showing more interest as time goes by and shes started to actually go out of her way to get some interest out of him,today he almost grabbed her out of my hands and persisted and gollowed through

Well im starting to think big girls may be shutting up shop,big kunnanurra lass still gets some attention but male ends up giving up,has been cool of late and ive been not doing daily intros of late

Was getting a pic of a young male kunnanurra/prince regent with his prince regent mum and he ended up having a go with her,but she wouldnt lift tail and was to much for him to get control of,i believe shes been done and dusted for a while so swapped in a couple of small kunnanurra females and he dropped plugs on one,then covered the other one in above pic

Pencil in a 2nd mating for small kunnanurraa/prince regent male and an older but small kunnanurra female,he had a go at a 2nd small female first but lost grip and switched to this one so might try him on other first next time and switch them up a bit

Biggest males still trying with biggest kunnanurra female bit shes getting crabby with him stuffing about but not hitting the spot so she may be shutting up shop ,has been gaps of a few days between pairing her so might explain that

This is a great thread Richard. It looks like you largely keep the same pairings for repeated matings rather than have them mate with multiple partners. Do these all live together in a big group? I'm wondering if/how you have them stick to your pairings and keep track of parentage for the offspring.

You could probably publish "memoirs of some blue tongues" with all this activity ;)
