One thing I have highlighted and that can play a roll in the lack of action "you moved", I can tell you that moves are often bad news when breeding especially right prior or during breeding season, I moved a few years back and it was the worse season I had. I know breeders who will not even move females to another room or even make dramatic changes such as switching bedding type during breeding season.
I'd be less worried about him but he's on the shy side, so I've decided to be overly careful. He's currently in a 15 qt and I'm keeping a close eye on him.

Gah, I know. Unfortunately the purchase of our house took several months longer than was originally expected. I did take all possible steps I could to minimize stress but like you said, we moved. We will see if she goes or not. I won't pair her with another male. There's always next year and patience is a virtue. :-)
