So what did you do to get yours to mate. I have been trying to get mine to mate for days. The girls ganged up on the boy and had him for lunch..I have 3 more males but would like them to live thru this. Any advise is much apprecieated

 
Hi,

I heated them both up to 110F. Then placed the male on his lid and got him close to the female. Making sure his antenna touch the females back. My male soon jumped on the females back and 10 min later they connected for 6 hours. They were mated again 4 days later. I did this with all my females. I think the heat is very important, at least with my pairs.
