    Will female produce slugs if not bred?

    I have a proven female Pastel that I am trying to breed with a Bumblebee this year. They have been paired numerous times since Oct. but the Male shows no interest in her ever. I have seen him lock with other females so not sure why he won't breed with her. She scent marks and shows breeding behavior when I intoduce him but he tends to just curl up in the corner of the tub for 3 days when he's with her.

    Mh question is... Is it possible that she will build and ovulate and just slug out because he has not even attempted to breed her? Or will they generally not lay at all if not bred by a male?

    If there's a possibility she is going to just slug out because she is in the breeding process but not being bred by the male, I will put another male to her (That I dont particularly want to
    breed her with) just to not waste a year on slugs.

    If they generally dont lay at all if not actually bred, then I would rather save her for another male next year at this point.

    Thoughts?
