Hello Michael and those other interested breeders, I just looked at my Saratov fragment and believe that meteorites actually reproduce by asexual reproduction. I've always made sure that I kept all my meteorites isolated from one another in their own pens. What did I find today but my Saratov fragment had given birth to several small pups! And I believe they are growing rapidly as a couple are already three times the size of the litter runts. One has even grown a bit of fusion crust! No doubt I'll have several full size Saratov fragments for sale in no time. Unfortunately, the mother has lost a bit of weight but hopefully this is just a tempory condition. Will try to keep all informed of futher developments.
