courting behavior

Subject:

Comments:
: Last weekend, both Friday and Saturday evening, I observed some very obvious courting behavior between one of my pairs. I have been rotating my 3 females in with 1 male since early March, but this is the first time I actually saw this behavior. They both followed each other around the cage, rubbing up and down each other's bodies, arching their heads back, and both the male and female were trying to mount each other. I watched this for about 2 hours before going to bed. I never observed the actual copulation, but they were really trying hard. This happened both nights about 9:00 pm. I haven't seen it since. : Do females only exhibit this behavior when they are ovulating or have egg follicles? : I'm curious what others have seen in terms of courting behavior and if this is common.
