how do you know when your male and female are ready to breed?
and can a male breed with two females?

It is best to wait till the female is around 14-18 months old before breeding her.
The male will happily breed with as many females as he can get..so two is no problem. In fact you can house the two females together (providing there isnt' a huge difference in size and they get along). Keep the male separate at all times, just introduce him to the females for short periods of time, long enough to get the job done, then take him out. You can introduced him to one female at a time on your living room floor or a separate cage, this way it is easier to keep an eye on things and intervene if the Male gets too aggressive (or the female) to prevent injury.
