Hi,

My male showed no intrest in one of my females this year but locked with one of the others almost as soon as he hit the floor of the tub.

So I put both females in the same tub and introduced him to see if that would help. He locked up with the one he had ignored that night.

The one he seemed to prefer never did go but the "ugly duck" (from his point of view ) laid 9 eggs for me.

I do only keep the pairs together for one or two days at a time though as I remove the waterbowls and hides when I put them together.

It might be totally pointless but I seem to remember reading that not sharing a waterbowl can help stop any disease spreading - none of them are sick but it seemed a sensible precaution.
