Lost Tail?

One of our Breeder males lost his tail last night. We were planning on putting him in with a female in the next few days. How long should we allow him to heal before we mate him with the female?

a few days to a week and it should be completely healed.
It doesnt matter how long you wait as long as the setup is clean so it doesnt get infected. i had a couple females loose their tails this year during breeding and didnt take them out of their groups.

Thanks for the heads up. It is our first year breeding.

I would take the male out of the breeding group to give him time to heal. Just to be safe.
