Update:

Thank you everyone for the wonderful help and encouraging responses.

Praise the Lord I tried again after being encouraged by all of you. 

This is a complete narrative of the 'romantic' story.

After I got all of your responses I set Sparkle in front of Galaxy and put a live cricket in front of her. As she went to attack it Galaxy approched quickly and hopped on her back, startling her, causing her to drop her 'precious' cricket. She went to grab the cricket again and missed, grabbing Galaxy's arm instead. She started to knaw on it at which I blew on her and she stopped. This all happend within 15-30 seconds so I was getting tense. I seperated them then helped her get her cricket. 

Galaxy got back on and since he landed oddly she couldn't quite get up so I helped them to get in a vertical position and a immediate connection was made which lasted 10-15 minutes. 

Fast forward a few hours... 

Galaxy stayed on her back the entire time and actually is still on her back as I write although about an hour ago another connection was made lasting 30-40 minutes. 

Also I just walked in and they are connected again. Idk for how long but I will time starting now at 7:33pm when I saw them.

I don't know how long to leave them but I would like to have him loose and replenishing his supply for in a couple days I want to mate Twiggy or Liza with him. (If anybody has any thoughts...)View attachment 11324View attachment 11325

Congratulations on the successful breeding. Good luck with Galaxy. You can probably just leave him in there until he dismounts on his own.

 
They have been going at this (connected) for 2 hours and 10 minutes now...constantly! 

Like seriously?               

I need him off soon...!!

 
Congratulations on the mating! I am so glad everything went well. How are Galaxy and Sparkle? Did they separate easily?

Good. You are trying Galaxy and who today?

Was going to try Galaxy and Twiggy. .. Fail.

Then I tried Galaxy and Liza but another flop.

His arm is getting a little worse so he cannot mount the female properly. I am just going to stick with Sparkle's ooths and not worry about the others.

(Ps. I know you already know this becuz I emailed you but I wrote it so the other members can know too)
