Thanks to all for your replies so far, glad to know this is not uncommon at first attempts for very nervous queens. It's her first time and ours breeding and we're very excited about it all and want it to a lovely experience for her and us too! When's shes at home she seems to desire anything and everything but out of her familiar environment she didnt seem as keen. Another attempt will be made when she's back in full call and the stud breeder is being very understanding about it all. Fingers crossed!
