Well, my first attempt at breeding my jungles was a no-go. I apparently did enough right to get my female to cycle though, and they were under the exact same set of conditions the entire time. I hate to write this male off as a bum (pictured below), but there was no interest whatsoever on his part. And here I was worried about the girl. =/ I found them together all the time, but as far as I know, they never copped at all.



Now, this pair was sold to me as adults, and I was a little suspicious as to why they'd never been bred. Obviously the girl is in working order. Is it safe to say that if the female cycled and they both went off feed, then I may indeed just have an unenthusiastic male on my hands? I didn't have another adult male to try the combat bit with, not that I was keen on that anyway. I've heard of males being "bad breeders", but nobody ever seems to elaborate.



Anybody have any experiences with freeloading bums like this? =)
