    Rejecting male

    I have a female that I have been breeding to a male spider. I have seen at least six locks over the last few months. The female has gained 318 grams in fifty days. She shed on 11/27/13 and again on 1/6/14. She eats like she normally does, however she seems to want more ,so I have been giving her extra feedings. However the last lock I have seen was on 11/30/13. Now she does not lock with the male,I have also seen her push him away. Is this normal, I only put the male with a female for three days, after which he gets a week or two off before I pair him with another female. As I do not want to over work him. So my question is my female acting normal and is she finished breeding, or have I just missed something? Thanks for your help.

    Keep pairing and keep feeding her up. She needs the extra meals.
