    A couple recent locks

    I have three young males I am using/trying to use this season. All first time breeders. These two males seem to have gotten the hang of it, but the third male still refuses to pay the girls any attention Very aggravating, but I'm at least happy these males have gotten started...

    Thanks for looking!

    You could try putting the male that wont breed in with a male that will for about 20mins then re-introducing him to the female.

    I had a male last year that wouldn't lock (it was his first time lol), so I put him in the tub with his lady friend, and a third (also clueless) normal male in with them. I waited for about ten minutes (***waiting in this case means sitting on the floor and watching like a hawk to make sure the normal male didn't do anything he wasn't supposed to***) and then took the normal male out again. Jealousy motivated that male better than three months of trying (and using other sheds, plugs etc) and they were locked within two hours. Might be worth a try if nothing else is motivating him.

    I tried this idea about a week ago,with a pastel lesser male that would not breed. After I removed him from the male spiders tub.He locked with the female, I wanted to breed him to ten minutes later. Give it a try it worked for me.
