Hi there,

You may have just been lucky with your orientals last time, Bengals are no different than any other breed, just like humans, some reach puberty earlier than others - nothing to worry about IMO.

I have a girl and haven't noticed her coming into call yet although all the rest of my girls are total tarts that display exactly what they want.....Mouse is a classic one where it is difficult to know if she is in call or not - she is always making 'incall' noises and rollong around on the floor but we are having to wait for her sister to have her first obvious call so we can mate them at the same time.

I wouldn't suggest letting a queen have more than 2 calls before mating her. I am petrified about pyometra and the more calls a girl has, the greater her chances of getting pyo is. Even if she isn't mated, she can still get pyo, it isn't an STI but could result in a spay (I experienced a pyo spay on my wedding day - the dog couldn't have waited 24 hours before collapsing).

I am more cautious than some breeders might be, my girls are exceptionally precious to me and I would be devistated if they got an infection or had to be spayed. This is my hobby, it is their health.

It's great she has come into call, another 3-6 weeks and it will start all over again.....!
