    Rotating your males

    First season breeding for me! Started about 3 weeks ago putting my males with the females. I've been doing 4 days working... with 3 days of rest. As for this season I have 1 male to 2 females. What i started with, was putting a male with the one female for 4 days, then the next week putting him with the other female (correct me if i'm going at this the wrong way).

    My male spider will lock up within a couple hours,and on day 1,2,3 seems to be locked up every morning when i check but day 4 is tuckered right out, where as my mojo takes about 1 1/2 days before he gets started(likes to cuddle first i guess)

    To capitalize on my males should i be rotating them through the females in the same week?

    Would like to know others views/methods when rotating your males especially when you get 3-5 females to 1 male.

    Re: Rotating your males

    I go 3 days max with females or less if they have stopped locking. Then at least four days off. I also dont pair until both have had at least 48 hours to digest a new meal. Others do things different but thats what has worked for me.
