    It makes sense .... a female may not be certain of finding a new mate .... so why wait
    I would love to read this entire study but will not pay $38.00 to do it.

    I know , I wouldn't either. There are many studies on this but I've not been successful finding a completely free PDF on this topic. I haven't tried for a wee whiley tho .... might have to resume the hunt.

    Re: Retained sperm possible second litter??

    sometimes Iīm a little devil

    Fresh sperm will fight the old, stored sperm, when a female mates again.
    But you canīt be 100% sure, that this will be 100% successful.
    So there is a scant chance that sperm might be mixed.
    Nothing to worry about, if you donīt mate the female twice or plurally in one season!

    @Greg You should never worry about your German, because each meaning is at least fixed twice in our language.
    Allready waiting for the sommer
