He went from the head lock:
Tried him with a different smaller female. She is around 2,700g and he was at the right end this time but not quite there:
Big snow storm started last night and now look at him (this is him back in with the bigger female he head locked the first time):
I just seperated them to give them a couple days rest and filled up their water bowels. The water bowel was in there with them when I had them together but it was empty. As soon as I put the male back in his own tub and gave him fresh water he drank a tonHopefully he has the hang of it now for when I pair them up again
