That depends on her health.

No, you should never keep a male and female betta fish together for long time periods. They should only be put in the same tank for breeding purposes and then separated after.
Non random mating
Mating rituals of dogs normally last 2 days. First they fight, then they calm down and she will allow the stud to breed.
if what you mean is how long you should wait before mating then you should wait about 2 weeks for the betta fish to mate, keep them in separate tanks but make sure they can still see each other to increase flaring. you should get at least a 1 gallon tank or more, the male should be in the bigger tank because the male should build whats called a bubble nest for the eggs, after 2 weeks you should have the female a bit fatter, almost the size of the male. make sure you have a hiding place for the bettas so they can mate. another is to make sure they are about a month to 2 months old before mating for best results.
Jills are induced ovulators or ovulation is induced by mating. If mating does not occur, and the Jill (female ferret) remains in heat for long period of time, it can lead to serious illness.
Once the female gives birth, the male should only put back to her if you plan on using them for breeding again.
If mating occurrs in the female's cage, she will harm the male if he's left too long. Basically, the male sniffs 2-3 times, mounts the female, "pumps" 3-4 times, squeals, and falls over on his side. Done.
the female cat leaves a scent and the male cat can smell it and [if it is unfixed] will follow and try to mate with the female cat. Musk glands and pheromones attract males to females and vice versa. It stimulates a sexual response an lets the male of the species know that the female is in heat and ready for mating. The female produces estrogen that can be detected for long distances.
Female zebra finches reach sexual maturity at just 12 weeks. However, to keep your birds healthy after breeding, it is advised by vets and bird experts that your zebra finch should be at least 6 months old before attempting to allow them to mate.
