    New Breeders

    Hi all, I just picked up a pair of new breeders (Het OG female and Enchi Het OG male) on Friday, 11-21-14. They rode in the truck for about an hour and a half before being put into their new tubs. Both took a meal on Sunday, 11-23-14. How long should I wait until I introduce the male to the female? Is the standard acclimation period of a week sufficient? Since they've already eaten is that a green light?

    I'm not in any hurry just curious.

    They've been quarantined in their own room. Both came from the same place so they're in the same room together.

    If I feed on Sunday then Tuesday evening I put the male in with the female. Thursday evening (or later if he's got her locked up) he goes back to his enclosure... unless I saw them lock earlier and they've separated, then he goes back to his home. Make sense?

    That makes perfect sense. Thank you.
