1) Could be good for years. Females can store sperm and decide when they want to use it. Most will say that one good lock per shed cycle is plenty.
2) Ovulation is obvious - they look like they swallowed a football. There's only an ovulation when they're actually getting ready to breed - not on a cycle like in mammals. Not locking could be good or bad - totally dependent on the situation.
3) Keep offering food as long as they'll take it (once every week or two during breeding season). Once females ovulate, most will go off food completely. Again, though, not eating could be good or bad - totally dependent on the situation.
4) As stated in #1, pairing once/month or once/shed cycle is pretty standard.

Hope this helps!
Thank you for the answer. I've been reading all kind of guides and tutorials, but those questions remained unanswered.
