pairing question

If im only breeding one male to one female shud i still apply the 3 days on 3 days off rule? Or shud i continue to do that and wait till i see a lock and then give them a longer break? Or shud i give them a longer break even if i dont witnsss a lock..any advice wud b appreciated. Thanks!

If you see a lock I would give them at least a couple weeks off. When I see a lock I don't even pair up a female for three weeks after that. Breeding once a month is fine.
