My girl has been paired routinely since November, with locks witnessed with every pairing. She went into blue a few days ago during the 'off pairing' days, and is going into her pre-ovulation shed (I'm assuming - she's been off feed for 3 months so it isn't a growth shed). She cleared up a bit by last night so I put my male back in. This morning, they were completely apart and seemingly disinterested in each other. Is that normal during the pre-ovulation shedding period? Or does it vary by animal?
