This does seem to be the norm; the female is finished but the male just wants to go on and on. I wish my male wold eat, but until the breeding season is over he is going to be a horndog. I put his mate in with their grown daughter in a separate cage so she could have some peace and quiet.

Daughter Rozy and mother Zoey recently, enjoying peace and quiet in their own cage. Alfonzo did get to mate with Zoey this week so he did get some relief although until the breeding season is over he will be persistent. In the wild the female would be able to go away from the male while the male would proceed on to find more females.
