Yes give him a break between pairings. Males have been known to basically breed themselves to death!Originally Posted by Haddady's RnR
Also, if you are just pairing the male with the one female you do not have to pair him every week. You can give him a week or two off inbetween. That being said the season is in full swing so for me the breaks would depend on how far along your female is.
Alot of us pair 1 male with multiple females and that is usually where the 3 on 4 off comes from. A male will go with 1 female for 3 days or until you see a lock, then he gets a break during which he will get offered a meal and in a couple days moved on to the next female.
