Give them raw red meat for 3 weeks, with flax seed oil (cold pressed), tripe, and a few baby potatoes. Also bring her in the house in a crate. All animals have a primary function of survival. The secondary function is to reproduce. There was an experiment done with guppie fish. They had three separate tanks, one tank had a bunch of fish with two predators in the same tank, the other had the guppie fish with No predators, the 3rd had the tank with a fish they "LOOKED" like the predatory fish but was Not. As you could guess... the reproductive rate in the tank with No predators was twice as much as the one with predators and 50% more than the pseudo predator. As a secondary effect,the tank with the fish that were without predator were brightly colored, the ones that were with predator were all dandy brown to blend with the sand at the bottom to evade predators, the one with fake predators were half and half. This makes sense. Animals have a finite amount of resources to allocate for survival and reproduction. But make No mistake... survival is first, reproduction is second. So.. put your bitches in a stress free environment, once thirty bodies feel relaxed, they can allocate resources for reproductive purposes.
