Hey everyone

Here are my two loves Bitty as a baby


and now


and slingshot as a baby


and now


I raised them both from babies, and have been pairing them since the first of october. I would check on them every morning when id wake up, every night before bed and just about every moment in between. Nothing. Finally i came home from school monday expecting nothing, but still excited as always to see if just maybe they'd be locked up. and BAMMM


my first lock!

I was super excited and could not get the smile off my face.
I left them alone for about 4 hours and when i came back they were still locked and this time the lock was much closer to the glass so i leaned in for a closer look. It turns out he wasnt actually "Inside" her. It was a textbook lock. They were vent to vent, but he clearly wasnt "IN". His spurs were also not moving so i dont think he was "tickling" her or anything.

Is this normal? What do you guys think was happening? Are they just amateurs?
