Answer
Hi Ashley. Most breeders try on days 11 and 13, or on days 12 and 14, so, you're kind of early yet. You say the female won't let the male mount, then she's probably trying to tell you she's not ready. If you get to day 13 and still nothing, then you may want to do a fast A.I. You may need to do this anyway if the male is scared to even try. Keep them seperated for a day or two, and then try again.
