Question! And I'd be happy to just Google it, but was wondering if WOLF has its own policy on the matter~

At what age, if any, are wolves no longer able to breed? Do the females go through a menopause of sorts?

@Lucani Sorry, I think we all missed this! Feel free to tag an admin to get their attention if a question is going unanswered!

We've never defined an age, but since our characters can live to be 9 years old, I would say 7 years old is a safe cutoff. Any character less than 7 years old can still breed, any character greater than 7 years old can no longer breed. Some characters may lose their fertility earlier if you want them to, but no character greater than 7 years old should be able to produce offspring any longer.
Formerly Farstep. Name changed to suit the fact that he has no known name.

Saw this topic on the Online list, and thought I might ask, is this just a rule for WOLF? Since actual wolves "never [reach] reproductive senescence (menopause)". So, despite the fact that characters cannot be older than nine years old, they aren't allowed have a pup after the age of seven, even though they realistically could?

Yeah, this is the cutoff specifically for our game as decided among the admin team. :)

Keeps things, y'know, interesting. *ehhe*
