they can fertilize through the egg crate but with far less success. When she is dropped and ready to lay I would leave them together. It is normal for the male to be rough w/ her during this time or any time but if she is conditioned enough she will make it. Immediately after she lays and during he will fertilize and at that point if needed I would separate them. GL man !!
