Describe a polygamous mating system
What will be an ideal response?
Polygamous breeding cages are available for owners who want to breed more than one pair of animals. This
type will usually have three separate cages connected together with holes in the back of the cages that lead to
a tunnel that connects all three cages. Females are fitted with a plastic collar that prevents them from leaving
their cages and entering the tunnel. Two females and one male are placed in the cages, and the male can use
the tunnel to go from one cage to the other. If one of the females allows him to stay in her cage, a third female
can be added to the cage where the male was first put. Additional cages can be added to house up to
20 females. Allowing the male to run the tunnel keeps him in good condition.
In polygamous matings, the male is left in the tunnel and can visit the cages of the females at any time. The
openings to the tunnel can be closed off to prevent a female from being rebred right after giving birth.
