They can reabsorb follicles, but once eggs have formed they cannot reabsorb them.
I hope she and the babies are doing well!

No, no eggs--it was all rather weird, in my limited experience, but she is slowly getting her appetite back. A couple of days ago, I got her to take a pinkie in her enclosure dangling it in front of her with tongs, and then tried with a hairless fuzzy similarly. She struck at it and knocked it across the tank, and then when I offered again she refused. So...I left it with her overnight, and it was gone the next morning.
This morning, I was able to feed her in her feeding bin offering two pinkies using tongs and then another hairless fuzzy. It took some dangling and teasing with the fuzzy, but she took it. The pinkies meanwhile were gone almost the moment she got her mouth on it, heh. I'll try with a weanling in a few days.
The babies are shedding and eating and are just gorgeous, if my biased self does say so.
I need to get a better post-shed pic of "Turtle," but here is hypo Aztec "Coby:"
Stripe (or is it hypo stripe?) "Scarlet:"
Hypo Aztec "Greatness" (LOL, still laughing my son nicknamed him that):

Hypo Aztec and my 5yro's pick as his keeper "Snootle:"
