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.

Regards,
Frank
