You can go to my post about breeding. Somebody posted a website to go to. It's pretty decent advice. Just check out my post and the reply.

After they break the lock up pull the male for about two days. Than repeat. If you put them together again for about 3 days and they do not copulate, pull the male for about 2 days again. Keep repeating until you see an Ovulation. She probably has not had her pre-ovulation shed yet so once you see a shed put him back in on the same rotation until she ovulates.

Good Luck,
Bill
