    Tail wagging question

    I started pairing a male with one of my females. The female started tail wagging. I have never seen her do this. Is this a good sign or not. I keep reading it's a good sign then read something else that says it's not. Can anyone clarify?

    Yeah. It's a good sign. She's scenting with pheromones to entice the male.

    Good sign ... what Dave said pretty much sums it up, now it's all up to your male

    Re: Tail wagging question

    That's what I was thinking, but I have been reading some
    places are saying the opposite. Male didn't seem very interested as he balled up. I haven't checked them this am however. He is big enough, but didn't seem interested at the time.

    Re: Tail wagging question

    Well this morning I opened the rack up and they were not locked up. I did however notice she had left a little pee and some small smearing of blood. I notice she was opening and closing her reproductive areas last night. I am trying to stay clean here. Lol. Is this all normal and what are the chances they locked for a short time?

    Don't clean that up! She's working hard to leave the smells and feromons for the male.
