The rotation really depends on how many females you are breeding. I typically place the male with the female three days and then give him three days rest. I continue to offer all animals food throughout the breeding session. I pay more attention to the females with larger follicles and make sure they see the male more often. Keep a eye on you're males and make sure they still look healthy especially if they go off food.

I use 6qt Sterilite tubs for all my eggs, I cut the plastic egg crate to size ( I purchase the crate from homedepot, typically found in the lighting section), I use vermiculite, and since no eggs are touching the vermiculite I don't worry about a water ratio, I just ad water and mix. For the top of the tub I use a piece of glass, 3/8 thickness.

Hope that helps and good luck!
