Default ideal weight to breed leopards

Hi guys, I've got a stupid question, but I searched all over the web and didn't find an answer...
I know the ideal weight for females, 55/60g to avoid problems during the gestation.

But what's the ideal weight for males to be bred, since I don't know his age?

thank you very much!

I think it's less critical for males since they won't have the calcium depletion. However, since many males will stop eating for awhile when they get interested in breeding, it's probably a good idea to make sure they've attained a good percentage of their adult size. I would also suggest that the male should be at least 50 grams, but there may be individual diffences depending on the male.
