Congratulations on your twins!
They are a fun surprise.

I think the answers to your questions are: breeding them again is Not more likely to lead to more twins. I mean, twins aren't even like the sizes which run at around 2% or 1% of all boxes. Twins are much more rare. In 16 months of breeding I've gotten 2 sets.

Once you unbox them they are just regular kitties. Kayleigh MacMillan, I know, has asked that there be some permanent way to mark that a kitten was a twin. So far it's just dressing them in matching collars or hats or teeshirts. (I got the WorldCup teeshirts for 2 of mine). Consequent to that, I don't know that they actually sell for any higher than a regular cat. They kind of are just regular cats. I think it's just meant to be fun. Perhaps someone else can chime in on the thread if they've sold a set of twins for higher than normal. People tend to not unbox them I think, and you'll see them displayed in shops in boxes, because once they're born you just can't tell.

As for frequency, I don't think we know. We might compare it to the appearance of gems. I know that in 16 months of breeding I've gotten 2 sets of twins. Now that's not really the right way of looking at it. One should count out of how many boxes bred rather than in months, but I don't know how many boxes I've bred. Perhaps others can chime in on how often with more precision.

no ifo but congratulations :-)
