I need help with the breeding

[bobmurffy]

She bred and layed last season not this one that just passed. He became a picky eater b4 the breeding I thought he was telling me he loved what he smelled. Never got to see sperm plugs at least not in my mojave. Like I said I never let him stay with her for a week or weeks at a time, just wondering if I do that do I pull the hides and clean the urine she leaves in there or just leave everything in there???

dont leave them together for weeks... what i meant was put the male with the female for 3 days and then take the male out for 3 days... do this repeating for weeks at a time... but dont just leave the male in with the female for weeks at a time...

oh ok, I get it now.

So do I clean up the urine when the female is in with the male or should I leave that also in for three days at a time? Do you pull hides out and water?

[Gavin Cooper]

Leave the urates and water. The hides are up to you, I don't use hides at all and so far so good.

The urates may help stimulate the male into breeding. I usually slack off when it comes to cleaning around breeding season. I want the boys to smell the girls and get to business.

As was stated earlier it seems to be the male that's the problem. Your female seems receptive but the male is either not interested or not sure what to do.

Again I would wait till the fall and spend the summer beefing up the girl/girls that you have and get them ready for the comming season.



Good luck,
Gavin.

It is not urine she is spreading around. It is actually her speading her scent from her scent glands!

would they stop tail wagging if in shed? Also would males not try to breed if they are in shed???
