I have a male that has somewhat done his job. I introduced him to a female 10-14, he started courting on the 16th, for a week straight, seemingly without break. I'm sure I saw copulation on more than a few occasions, but who really knows. He took a weeks rest, and then bred her for another week from Nov 1st-8th. He has not shown any interest in her since. He went into a shed cycle, which I excused him for the lack of interest. He shed, ate a small meal, but still shows no sign of breeding. The female is now going into her pre-ovulation swell, and Im worried about her not having enough sperm in her to get the job done. From previous experiences, my males have bred for 2 months almost non-stop and done quite well. I am worried that this total of 2 weeks wont be enough.

Comments/suggestions?
