Krib won't pair

Post by javon4 »

I got a male and female krib 6 months ago, hoping they'd pair up by now but that hasn't happened.

The female's been showing off to the male, but he just doesn't seem interested. I've got plenty of caves for them to breed in, so that's not the issue.

I'm thinking of taking the female back to the pet store and swapping her for a new one, hoping the new pair would breed. Would this work?

Thx

They're in excellent condition, btw.

I've attached a pic from my BlackBerry, not the best quality but you get the idea.

I would keep the female and get another one, so the male has a choice, maybe he just isn't interested in the one you have now.

I'm attached to my male as he's a stunning specimen, wouldn't want to see him go.

fluxx, i don't think getting rid of the male is the way to go, he's a great specimen and i'd hate to see him go, javon4 had a good point about keeping the female and getting another, giving the male a choice might just do the trick.
