I've done both, but usually I put the male in the female's cage. The theory on this is that males do more wandering - searching for mates, etc. Also, the mating which produced my second 2010 green rat clutch - took place in a bare, unoccupied tub, which I had placed them in (for maybe 20 - 30 minutes) while I was cleaning their tubs. I wasn't even thinking that they would breed so late in the season, and was not expecting it.
Bottom line is I don't think it matters much - if they are ready, they will mate... ----- -Toby Brock
