deuce02 Jun 18, 2004 01:04 AM

You should try introducing the female into the male's enclosure. If she rejects try again in a week or so.

i found a little trick with my veileds it'll probably work with yours if you got an hour or so to spare let i put her on the males cage if within an hour if she tries to get in i let her but im there to break up any fights (sometimes the female will just attack the male!)if she doesnt try to get in i put her back in her cage and try again later i also move the females cage so that she can see the male when trying to breed

im not sure if this will work for you but it defenitly works for me!

It's not so much where the introduction takes place as her hormonal status. If she's not in a receptive state the location won't make any difference. You may just have to try again at different times using the other tips given.
