    Sounds like she is done for the season, are you sure that she hasn't ovulated? because if she has she very likely will not lock up any more.

    Because a female will not lock or show interest all of the sudden does not mean she is done.

    Not uncommon for them not to lock for a while and than start locking again later on.

    Also remember because you do not see anything and they are each on one end of the enclosure does not mean that nothings happened.

    Has you female shown any signs such as glowing, building? Did you witness an ovulation.

    Unless you have witness an ovulation I would recommend you to keep pairing.

    My girls refuse locks here and there, it's pretty normal. I would keep pairing until you see eggs or give up.
