Hi,
This is my first time breeding. I introduced a male with a female for the first time today.

I monitored them for a little bit, and noticed what looks like obvious rejection from the female. At the slightest contact, she would tense up, do some sort of twitchy move, and push him away. He keeps trying to get close, but she's having none of it.

I certainly was not expecting them to lock for me within the hour, but this makes me wonder if I should leave him in there at all.
Is this kind of behaviour common? Is it safe to keep him there? He is about 800 grams, she's around 1900.

Thanks
