Tips for breeding Tasmanian Devils?
As the title says, I'm looking for anyone else's tips and advice for making the most out of breeding Tasmanian Devils. They don't live very long so that doesn't make it easy to quickly find a new (GOOD) mate for one off the market/trading. I currently have 2 females that just matured and one is 100% on Fertility and Immunity, and 58% on Size and Longevity, a Gold medal, 3.4 years. The other is 3.1 years and green across the board but not maxed out on any stats, Gold medal. I also have a male in my storage that has no color medal, green across the board except for 1 stat (orange).

The best thing for breeding up tasmanian devils is to get 3 or four breeding pairs going. with that you can use the compare mates tool to sort out the best mates for the offspring. Be sure to keep them in the trade storage till you are ready to mate a pair so they don't age out before they can mate. It also might be good to have a holding pen for the female offspring and one for the male as well to keep unwanted breeding accidents. Of course, have them fully researched for best chances of successful mating events and do use the compare mates tool. With the tasmanians it is quite difficult to get many offspring but diligence will win out over time and you should see improving stock.

you can store them while finding a mate. other than that all i can say is fully research them for all the breeding bonuses, make them happy and give them the best foods. store the babies as they're born to maximize breeding time on the parents, you can grow them up later.

It's generally better to put offspring in a separate pen to allow them to mature before going to trade so that one has those to choose mates from sooner rather than later.
BTW removing offspring from the habitat doesn't really make them breed faster. But it can help one to manage them in a safer time frame.

I’ve breed 60 devils in the last 2 days, 12 of them with perfect genetics
I use the comparator and find the best match, paying attention to longevity and fertility (best thing is having offspring with at least 67).
The enclosure has to satisfy every need but has to be small so they can meet and mate easily.
I put the couple in the enclosure and wait until the female get pregnant, then I put immediately the male in the trade center, when the cubs born I put them in the TC too; if the female gives birth before 4.6 y.o. and has a good longevity there’s time for another pregnancy, so one year after the birth I send again the male to the enclosure and repeat what I did before.
Once the female is too old (usually they die at 6.8yo with 100 longevity) I sell/release her and let the cubs in the trade center grow in the quarantine, once they reach 3.1 y.o. I put them immediately in the TC and try to find new good matches
With the top longevity and fertility you can have 8 cubs from one female, and if the male is good you can use him with 3 females (24 cubs)
