Problem with my Ghost pair

[Brian Liang]

So basically, my female ghost molted to adult almost 2 weeks ago while my male has been here for about a month or so. Right now, the female is clearly not ready to mate yet after I attempted to get them to today and I'll probably have to wait at least another week. By that time, the male will be getting older than he already is--he's already seeming a lot less active then he was and I stressed him out a lot today. Also, he didn't really try to mate with the female at all (it wasn't that the female was getting super annoyed--in fact she was quite calm when he climbed on top of her) even when he got on top of her. He was even in the right position, and the only time I even saw him notice her was when she started moving and he thought she was prey. Anyways,do you guys think I should keep trying while the male isn't so old or wait a while when the female is 100% ready but the male is near death?

Remove his habitat from the room for a night. Look to see if she is calling.... Try looking at night. Try mating again after a day or so. Make sure both have eaten. I don't think it will hurt to try, just keep an eye on him. Good luck!
