Battling

I have read posts on here how battling males will induce breeding behavior, i tried this but my males just crawled all over each other not even hissing or anything. Any ideas on how to provoke this dominancy?

Question why do you want them to "battle" it still SO SUPER EARLY in the breeding season there's really never a reason to resort to this. I've heard stories of defeated males NEVER breeding afterward.

There are tons of tricks to try and no reason to make them battle.

i think breeding behaviour can be induced if you put the male in with the female...:rolleyes:

that usually gets me started:rofl:

I have heard of breeders putting two males in with a female, thus making them feel the competition. Just keep an eye on them if they do start to fight seperate them. Another way is to take another males sperm plug and put it on the back of the female, this has induced breeding. Also another method is to dampen the shed of another male and put it in with the male and female you are trying to breed. You can also try putting a little water on the male and female, this has worked making them think a storm is arising inducing the instinct to breed. Goodluck!
