I know a lot of breeders keep the males in until they see ovulation, but i'll let the more experienced people make the final call. I would say still keep him in on the 3 days on, 3 days off, granted he keeps eating.

He's been off feed since first pairing lol but breeds like a beast and hadn't lost any weight

When I see they lock ... I take out the male to give a rest then i introduce him again a week after if they don't lock... I take him out at day 3 n try again another 3 days ...
