Pairing weekly vs. pairing monthly? Feeding question..
Do you pair weekly or monthly? I haven't been on this site in almost a year but up until tonight I thought everybody paired once a week, now I'm seeing a lot of you pairing monthly.... What's the pros and cons of each if there are any? I've been doing roughly 2-3 days paired, 3-4 days off, more on if they're locked, more off if they eat.
How long will you offer food if the females are still eating? I have one female that locks with every pairing and she SLAMS food, she has 6 confirmed locks already and I'm wondering if I should stop feeding her?
Thanks in advance!

OK, I'm going to slow the pairing down, thank you both. As for feeding, I have heard that some balls will continue eating even after ovulation but they should not eat 30 days prior to laying their clutch. A couple of my females have refused but than ate the next time, one of them will take as much as I offer, I just don't want to harm the eggs by feeding the females. Thanks again
