[AlpacaTalk] Re: female acting funny

 

I recently had the same situation with a first-time male. He would have nothing to do with the female. I found that putting them in a small area and kind of walking away, but staying within eyesight helped my male overcome his shyness. Of course, this was also his first breeding. But my female was experienced.
