Can a larger male breed a smaller female? or is the physicaly damaging to the female? Just wondering.

I wouldnt worry about that, it's not the norm, but it is possible.

Possible yes.

May just not happen though. Female could get more stressed, and larger males typically aren't as good of breeders.
