Breeding is not a strict subject in the Kizi, but there are a few rules and social concepts you'll want to be aware of before you go ahead and start spawning all those cute little babies.
Please understand that this is not a thread to restrict anyone from breeding, but simply to:
¤ Put all of the breeding rules in one place for easy access.
¤ Keep up with who is breeding so we can keep the memberlist up-to-date.
¤ Ensure that everyone who breeds has changed their name according to pride custom.
♥ If you plan on breeding within the pride, please be aware of the following ♥:
¤ If your Kizingo member was born into the pride and has not chosen a gypsy name, it will not be allowed to breed until it does so. For a gypsy name to be counted, it must be changed on the cert.
¤ Members born before March 3, 2010 are not held to the naming rule.
¤ If your member has a litter and you do not post it in this thread with all of the info required, then we will prevent you from having another litter until you do.
¤ Rogue breeding is allowed.
¤ Flings are allowed.
¤ Adolescent breeding is allowed (as long as parents have gypsy names), however life-mating is only allowed at adulthood. Please see the culture info for more details on that.
¤ Breeding between lions and non-lion felines is allowed but it should be kept as an uncommon thing. We have to maintain a 90% ratio of lions to non-lions so these relationships should be few and far between.
♫ Rules for Mix-and-Match months: ♫
¤ You are allowed to enter your Kizi member in these.
¤ You do not need permission to enter, but you must still post your litter in the appropriate thread when it arrives.
¤ Remember that the rules for cubs have changed! ALL cubs must stay with the moter until they are old enough to leave. Once a cub reaches adol, please make a note of their leaving or their gypsy name in the member update list.
¤ Please remember that we have to maintain a 90% ratio of lions. We ask that you not allow hybrids during the mix and match. Plotted relationships between a lion and a non-lion feline is fine. Mix and match, we discourage it.
If you are ready to breed then please post this form here. Once you post, you may immediately start trying for a breeding. You do not need our permission, we just like to have this info to be sure the parents are rightful adults.
