Signs of heat: restlessness, frequenmt urine squirting, lack of appetite, whistling, vulva flashing, and the vulva becomes swollen and pinkish in colour. The female and male will seek each other's company. The female remains in heat for 18-20 hours. So the male should be allowed close proximity for the first few hours after the onset of heat and should be allowed to enter in the enclosure of the female between 5-6 hours when the peak period is approaching.
