My mojave male started pairing up for the first time at 6 months old, too. He ended up losing out to the cinnamon that had been paired to that female earlier in the year, but he still managed to lock up and give it a go.
If they're at good weight, continue to eat, and willing to try, I don't see why not try it either.
Beautiful male, by the way!
