Confused
My male star is very keen to mate with 2 out of my 3 girls but won't go near the oldest/biggest he is aged around 8yrs, I'm confused as to why he is constantly humping the front back & side of the other 2 but not no 3. Any ideas?
Thanx

What is the size difference between your male and the largest female?

Some males are intimidated by larger females, especially if they haven't had much experience (which your male seems not to have ). If she is your only female large enough to lay eggs, than I'd seperate out the other 2 females and just let him be alone with the largest female. This way no distractions from learning how to get the job done.

Sounds logical& easier than getting him to climb on a stepladder
