 Quick Breeding Question

I have a female that is around 1800 grams and ready to breed this season.
Now the ? is. I have 2 males. One pastel that weighs roughly 420 grams. I also have a male spider that is right around 450 i would say. Both are producing plugs. They are both 07’s raised as pets and not breeders.
If they are producing plugs are they ready to go? Should i feed them up a little more and breed later on in the season? Any advice would be great. Thanks

once a male produced plugs he is mature enough to breed. And during breeding season you want to lower male food intake to keep them from being lazy. Females need all the food they can get before ovulating.
