I will also be keeping an eye on the female to see if she become more responsive to the male, to make sure that I caught it early enough. Thanks for the help. |
I can tell you from experience that it only takes about 10 seconds for a experienced male to tie a female. You could get distracted for just a minute, a phone call, running to the bathroom, reading on YT, etc.,that is all it takes to have an accident. Since your male is so young you are probably safe now but next time you might want to find a better way of totally separating them. Even if you are intending to breed them it is always wise to keep them separated until you are ready to breed them and then the breedings should be supervised. Best of luck to you.
