    First it is still very early in the season.

    You already paired them twice in 3 months you have had the female? Did you actually quarantine her? 90 days should really be a minimum especially if you plan on pairing the animal.

    There is absolutely no need to leave them for 4 or 5 days together, 2 max is more than enough. There is also no need to pair them more than once a month.

    What you need to do is

    Pay attention to the female's behavior and changes in behavior

    You need to pair when it is favorable, low pressure, rain, storm, snow etc

    You can use the sperm plug of another male to smear on the female's back

    You can use the shed of another female to place in the female's enclosure when being paired.

    They are not all that receptive that early on, some males will not even start locking until the female start to develop follicles, some animals will never lock (some female are rather picky about the male they lock with), some animal will lock and you will never see it.

    It's only October 29th it's gonna be a long road before eggs if it happens and right now I would not be concern after 2 pairings.
