i have read that the theory behind a cooling period is that it elevates the males testosterone levels and this triggers them to want to breed. if this is the case then is cooling really necessary for female bps? couldnt we just cool the males to get them pumped and then place them with the females? does cooling affect the females in any way?

now this is something i have read from only one source and i would like to know what all you experienced breeders think or any other theories you have read.
