Basically I have a young male about 750 grams that I was hoping to breed to a female that is about 1600 grams. Both are virgins. I have tried a few times to pair them and have never seen anything close to a lock. When I introduce him to her tub, the female evacuates as you'd expect. I have never seen any tail wagging but I haven't really been watching. (I'm not a Voyeur.) However, when I have looked in on them they are not only not locked, but she always seems to be on top of him. I mean he is for the most part covered.
My questions is, should I assume this is a dead end this season and stop attempting this pairing so I don't stress the little guy out, or is it a matter of if at first you don't succeed........?
I just don't know how fragile the little guy's ego is and I don't want him scarred for life. And on her side, I want to respect her right to, No means No.![]()
