In the mating season males regularly seek for females in oestrus, testing by sniffing at the vaginas. A female in oestrus is constantly followed by one male (usually a terr. male). Once mounted, a male makes a series of 4-5 thrusts every 20 seconds, accompanied by weaving head movements; the penis is pressed against the vagina, but not introduced. The female's back is hunched. After 3-5 minutes the penis is fully introduced with a sudden jerk, whereupon the female bites and chases the male.
