If I add a female to my pair will my male breed with both females?

Yes, one male can breed multiple females.
We plan to breed one of our males to three females and another male to two females this year, but not in the same cage. We will move the males from cage to cage.
Hope this helps.

I've never placed 2 females and a male in the same cage for breeding but I can't help but feel that there'll be potential for problems. I suspect the females might not get along and stress could hinder either one of them, or both.
And if you've ever been around two stressed out females you know that the male will likely get stressed, too.
I strongly suggest leaving the females in their seperate cages & place the male in with one for awhile and then put him in with the other.
If someone has successfully done two females/one male all in the same cage I'd like to hear about it. I think it's possible but I think the odds are against it. But I could be wrong, too.
Take care!
