Timing

[Lemon&Basil]

Hi, we have two 7 week old females we would like to introduce to our 2 year old male. When can we do this? He is quite larger then they are and we are afraid he will hurt them with his aggressive mating.

Try this method before introducing them

Thank you! They are interacting together but I am worried when he tries to mate them. I just want to be sure they are not too small.

They are too young to be with a mature drake mating should wait till they are 4 months old
