Did Your Stubborn Male Turn Around?

I put the shed in with her the day before I put the male in. The timing wasn't planned, another male just happened to shed that day.

My male locked once, and then showed zero interest the next two times I paired them... Then I tried putting the female into HIS tub instead, and he got going right away! I did the same thing the next pairing schedule, and he locked in less than a day again. No idea if that's the reason or just a coincidence, but it did the trick.

He just needed the home field advantage!

LOOOL he did, probably felt socially awkward at the girl's house. :rofl:

I had a male that wouldn't lock females until he got over a kilo. He's a good breeder now.

Nope I bought a Male Granite Pin in 2007 and he has NEVER! Bred...like EVER.

That hurts my eyes. No luck on the shed from another male :(

You might try putting your male with another male for about 10 minutes, then in with the female.

Have you tried misting the pair after putting them together ?

Maybe time out the pairing during a storm or weather shift. We're having a storm right now that makes me want to put my male with a female. I've times it so that I put my make banana in the females tub around a storm or weather shift and he has locked every time but the first pairing when the weather was calm. I don't know if that's what had an effect but it sure didn't hurt and he's locked the last three times. But I just pulled him out Sunday from one and my other female needs to put on a bit more weight. I'm saving her for next season since she's such a finicky eater. And I've only got the 2 females, for now.
