 Switched Roles?

Hey guys, we have been breeding for 2 years now, but have recently come across some behavior we just can’t figure out! One of our males (1 1/2 years old) will just not breed with our girl. She is 2.5 and has laid before. The odd thing is though, she is mounting him!! She goes after him, bites the back of his neck- everything!! He keeps saying no to her!! Any ideas?

Are you sure the male is a male? Has he mated to other females.

he’s definately a male... Like I said, I have been breeding for a few years now.. but just never came across this before. I also don’t want to sound ignorant when saying this next statement, but could he be gay?

It’s not unknown for animals to be gay. I know there are recorded cases with monkeys and other animals as well. I don’t know if there have been any documented cases of an animal switching its orientation however.

Interesting behavior indeed!

If you have another male, you may want to put the other one in with the Female for a couple of days and switch back after this. He may get more interested when he realizes what he has lost. I did this with mine. I switched the one I wanted to breed with my female and when I put him back he was all over her.

it may sound strange.... but try putting them in another room....on the bathroom floor is good.... they say a change is as good as a rest........it does work.

My females have done this as well. I’m not sure why, but he has mounted them as well.
