yes. The male should be at least 800 grams and usually his second winter. as long as the female is at the right weight, if she is 1500 grams or more on her third winter, then she is ready. It depends on the length of the female compared to her weight.
ex. If a young female that is 3 years old and 1500 grams she is probably ready. On the flip side if an older female is 2100 grams and she is alot longer than the other female she could be very underweight.
