Hi there. Much as in any species reproduction, successful mating only requires one time to lead to the production of healthy offspring. I will, however, usually encourage my breeder clients to allow the pair to breed at least 2-3 times for maximal probability. There is never a 100% guarantee that any pair will mate successfully to produce offspring, as many factors (female egg count, hormone levels, male sperm count and viability, etc) also come into play here. I hope this helps!
