Look at your weather forcast. Best to introduce them like a day before a low front comes through. Also if he is not a proven breeder be ready for a lot of patience. It has been 21 days since we started introducing the males. 3 days on 3 days off two of the three pairings have locked every time. One pairing has not shown any signs of locking yet.

Proven male X unproven female = Lock :gj:
Unproven male X unproven female = lock :gj:
Unproven male X proven female = no signs :tears:

Two days after a meal is good. Go for it:gj:
