That depends on a number of factors, including age, size and experience. For more info, you might want to read the following article. It deals more with the issues of the weight/size of a breeding male but could ad insight.



I have gone for 1:5 but find I'm not very successful. 1:3 seems to be a much better ratio for me. You can have successful breeding in a single encounter or nothing when they are together for weeks. I like to breed them long and often to increase my chances of fertility.
