Picky Spider or what??

I am breeding for the first planned time this year and have a couple of questions. My male spider refuses to breed to my pastel! Any ideas how I can correct this? Spider is hooking up with a normal female every time they are put together and the pastel female is hooking up with a pastel male. But I want a bumblebee!! And is it ok that everybody still wants to eat when I separate them? Thanks for any information everyone...please let me know if I did this wrong this is my first post

Have you tried singing to them? :rolleye2: keep trying dude love will preveil! :)

I heard if you play "What is love" by Haddaway that the whole process will go by "lickety split"... no pun intended.
