    What am I doing wrong?
    I have 4 females who I have paired up with 4 different males 5 times now. But over the past 2 months I can't really tell a dofference in them. So I personally think they are not impregnated... So what am I doing wrong? It's really frustrating. I know for sure they are all females and I have seen them lock every time. Help please?

    You haven't done your research on the timeline of breeding have you?
    This is a long term process that takes time for them to grow follicles after being introduced, patience and you will be rewarded.
    Most of my females will ovulate 4-5 months after starting to pair, if you're males are locking with your females then it will happen :gj:

    Be patient, keep feeding, keep pairing. It takes a while. I had one female last year that took 7 months before she ovulated. 2 months is nothing, if your expecting her to be gravid after that long your in for a big surprise and in the wrong hobby. Goodluck however.

    Patience is the key. As was said if your seeing locks that's pretty much all you can do. Keep waiting and feeding. Good luck.
