    After feeding pair up?

    How long after feeding do you wait to pair up males and females?

    I feed right after I separate and give them a few days before I pair back up.

    I separate and give the males a day to get used to it, then feed everyone. I usually get more males to eat if I give them time after separating them. I wait 2 days and start pairing again.
    If a male refuses food, he only gets one day before going back to work. Males seem to like females that have just eaten, lol.

    Well this is for first pairing feed everyone yesterday. Male refused but he just shed out yesterday afternoon, female his going with wrapped her rat killed it and left it. She is my garbage disposal so very odd for her to refuse she is the designated garabage disposal. So want to pair them as soon as I can.

    It depends if the male has recently been paired but I have put males to work 24 hours after their last meal.

    Unless it was a huge meal, there is no problem in pairing him now.
