how are you supposed to breed kings and milks because they are cannibilistic wont the male eat the female or vice versa?

care should be taken but feed them both well before any attempts are made and watch closely, just in case Smile


A friend of mine who breeds milks has on a few occasions had to run them under the cold tap to separate them Wink

The instinct to reproduce takes over. It after the feeding inctinct is one of the strongest in any animal. To the point males will go off food to look for females.

As with breeeding any you should always keep your eyes on them.
