I know this time of year lots of questions arise regarding the breeding of these guys, hence I have one. Let me note that this is my first time breeding these guys.

My N. Pines hooked up for the first time last Sat. I separated them on Sunday fed the female and attempted to feed the male. He still won't feed, even after breeding. Is this normal? I know it is typical of them to go off feed when they are ready to breed but I figured he would eat once he has done the deed. However, he has begun crawling around like a maniac again and I think I am going to put him back in with her tomorrow just to see if they go at it again. Is this normal behavior? Do you all recommend putting them together, then separating them, then putting them back together or do you normally just leave them together for awhile? Any suggestions as I would like to ensure she is ovulating when he breeds with her.

Thanks

Also, how do you post pics? Is there a forum on this? I've had trouble and am using photobucket.
