How do you know when the females panther are ready for mating?

How old is she? Females will display a salmon pinkish color when they are receptive to mating and when they are sexually mature. Females can be sexually mature at less than a year of age but it is much better for them if you hold off on breeding until they are a year plus.

SOme females change color, but mainly, if you put the female near the male, she will not act aggresively towards the male and will let him approach without trying to attack him.

Females should not be bred before they are at least a year old, if not closer to a year and half old.

I Dont know how old they are they were a gift.. here are some pics of the two.. let me know if you can tell the age of them

 

[camimom]

The one in the first picture looks gravid already.
can you post a photo of each of them sitting on your arm?

Also, are they housed together?

 

[ChamMan7]

Are those two Housed together? And is the pale-er female having some health issues? Her back leg looks to me as if she may have some issues with MBD.

Has the female in the first picture been introduced to a male? I agree she also does look to be gravid.

 

[vrastelli]

No they are not house together we put them there just for the pic... the first one have been not introduce to a male... the second one they give it to me with the first one because her tongue is not working she was really bad and sick so i took her in and i feed her by hand every night... she now is doing great and is really active. i know she have babies before.. but i dont think the first one has.

Her tongue not working is no bueno...

Do you have any idea what is wrong with her? Might want to take her to a vet to ensure that she doesnt get any worse.

 

[vrastelli]

She would open her mouth when she sees the cricket but her tongue would not go out... they were neglecting her, she would barely move and open her eyes when i got her... now she is really awake and walking all over.. i give her between for to five crickets and water every day... she look pretty good now.. i ask what happened but they said they don't know.

 

[ZEUUS]

Thats unfortunate... Well keep taking good care of her. It stinks she is dependent on you to eat.

Even if that first one wasnt with a male, she can still be gravid.

those dark colors normally imply either being receptive or being gravid.

females can lay infertile eggs.

i hope you have lay bins available for them, that they have complete access to.
