Hello all, first post!

[Animals As Leaders]

Almost all of my locks happen when i leave them in over night. At first the female shows no interest, then the next morning they are locked. And my 14 year old male will not eat a thing from mid to late November until mid to late March like clockwork, so don't be upset if yours doesn't want to feed.

ohh alright good because that is another thing I was wondering. He stopped about a month or so ago as well, and was wondering how healthy he is for breeding. Hes not skinny, and before this breeding season never missed a meal.

Hello and welcome! I put my male in with my girl 3 days on and 3 off, unless they lock immediately. Once they unlock I remove him and let him rest. My mojave boy usually gets it done immediately( with in like 2 hrs of being put in with my big girl), his locks usually last 24 to 36 hrs. so as soon as they separate I remove Mojo and put him in his own tub. The next day I offer him a meal. He just stopped eating about 2 weeks ago. He is young and this is his first season breeding. My older boys stopped eating around mid November. Check the Markus Jayne website and the 8ball BP websites for their breeding calendars and suggestions . Both are excellent! Hope this helps!
