Inhumu feeding/breeding cycle

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Here's my two cents about the whole green/blue/green feed/breed cycle:
I don't think it's likely that the inhumu go back and forth as often as=20
people have previously speculated.  In both books I believe, Horn says that=20
even when the two planets are at conjunction, the trip between is dangerous=20
and many imhumu do not survive (forgive me for not having and exact=20
reference.)  Judging by the danger and said low success rate, I think that=20
inhumu must be able to obtain enough blood and be able to breed on both=20
plants.

Just my theory
