First locks

Hello guys,
I wanted to ask you about opinion of this locks.
My female butter(2009) was locked up first time in February with Leopard het. Pied.
I was waiting until may for ovulation but didnt notice it.
After this time ive putted FireFly male, next day there was lock (Max 4hours):

Few hours later they were spending whole time like this:

I also gave her my Pewter male just for 1day to check what they will do.
Thats the result:

Female 2350g
What do you think about this short locks(less than 4hours, i check my breeding pair within 4h if i saw a lock)?
Hope this lock will be successful!

From what I've noticed, females are much less receptive to breeding after ovulation, so judging by how well she's pairing now it seems like she's still building and might just prefer to go later in the season than others. If the leopard is your top choice for a partner, you could try to toss him back in now - she might not have been ready for him in February.

While locks can last many hours, I think some males like to "hit it and quit it." Unless you see sperm plugs in the tub, it's probably safe to assume they got the job done. I don't have it on hand, but there's a video out there about how to tell if a male successfully locked by popping him and checking for the absence of a plug (if I remember correctly). Might be worth a look.

Congrats on your locks, hopefully she's just taking her sweet time and gives you a clutch that's worth the wait!

Thanks for answer @Chkadii ;)
She's big and she wasnt pairing last year so im still waiting :)
