Hey Miss2
They genrally mate from late september (if its a good spring) through untill
approx end of november. You wont be able to tell untill late summer as they are good at hiding the fact that they are carrying.
They will drop young anywhere from late febuary through to as late april (dependant upon mating times)
They will basicly continue to eat right up untill about 8 weeks (approx) before dropping.
Cheers
Craig
