Seems as though the females simply aren’t ready to be receptive. You could trim the sharp point of the barb before you try again to protect your male

That’s kinda my thoughts also. It’s been a few months they are all 3 about 2.5 years old. Was thinking about trying again this week been over 3 months since they have been together. Maybe I’ll try to clip the barbs not gonna say im excited to try that though
It wasn’t as bad as I thought it was gonna be but still not fun. I got them in the net and I have a long reach pair of side cutters I just cut about 1/2” off. One I couldn’t get the lower barb but it was completely covered by the top barb I did trim so I called it good.
