Hi Stormy No war! When I suggested Ground Flax Seed, it didn't even dawn on me to ask whether this is a breeding female. Both my guys are spayed/neutered so conceptual problems don't even appear on my horizon. The reason I use it for my guys is that it seems to provide the bulk required to get solid stools. I have also heard that you should NEVER use unground flax seed as it is sharp enough to cut the digestive tract.

This does NOT say Flaxseed is bad for animals, but may have caused some infertility problems. Just for your Information, not to cause a yes, it's good, no it's bad war , Please!
