Female Panther QUESTION

[djfishygillz]

So I house my female panthers in a 6 by 4 by 2 cage. There are 3 females in the cage. All somewhat similar size. They aren't aggressive towards each other and have plenty of room to get away from each other.

SO THE QUESTION

Can housing females together make them not reach a receptive stage? None of them have been breed and they are all reaching sexual maturity but none of them want to mate. They just gape and hiss when introduced to a male. I will be housing them alone soon enough but I just want to get a clutch out of my females.

its seems like they may be too young? you did say reaching sexual maturity.. you may need to give it time. if everything else is ok, and you don't notice your girls fighting or not eating, feeling stressed, whatever the case may be then leave them where they are housed. soon enough you will have to give them all their own cages and egg laying bins. i think breeding is a little too soon based off of what your saying, its not something that can be rushed.

i have a 5 to 6 months old female panther, she is pretty small like most at that age and i have also seen signs of sexual maturity. that doesn't mean she is ready to mate or lay eggs, at least not for a few more months...

I recommend not breeding until a year old and a good weight.
