I thought the male was too young but he is relentless now. Was not sure about the female's weight but I threw rabbits at her left and right and she is looking calm now and letting the male do his thing. She is all muscle and does not have the fat I think she may need. I probably should have fed her bushels of rats instead of rabbits but I thought it was a calorie thing and I am still not sure the way to go. The male's tail stripe is unbelievable.
