When to separate boys and girls

[chris-uk]

I assume you use "mates" in the context of buddies/friends/company, rather than in the biological sense? If it is the latter, I don't know how to break it to you, but you may want to rethink the breeding plans.

Lol...yes...roommates, I meant.

Good, I didn't want to see you posting up in a year or two wondering why you hadn't had any success breeding.
