Ovulation behaviour (including video)
Posted: Sat Mar 12, 2016 8:43 am
Here are a couple of videos showing the typical behaviour I see in my shinglebacks around ovulation. This only tends to go on for a day or two for each female, and tends to occur about 15-20 days after the males stop showing any interest in mating. For me it is a very reliable early predictor of who I can expect to have babies. These were taken last November.
I'm curious to know if this is seen in the other species?
