Hi,
Around middle of march my two females, a blizzard and a snow went into shed at exactly the same time and I started putting them together with the males. The blizzard hooked up with my proven motley male right away, however the Snow was fussy and I had to leave her in some of the guys' cages overnight. I had been feeding each of the females a mouse every four days to put weight on them before they went off food for egg-laying. However the blizzard is showing obvious signs of being gravid, she went off food a week ago and she is now in blue phase for her prey lay shed. However with the snow I never saw any kind of breeding, interest from her, or "evidence" with any of the males that I left her with, but she is now in shed again. She hasn't gone off food like she did when she was gravid last year, yesterday she ate two adult mice b/c my male refused his. At first I thought that this might be a second post brumation shed b/c she has not shown interest in the males yet...Although now I am worrying again. Could she be gravid? or is all the food that I am giving her making her grow some? (She was very petite before I got her.) Should I put a nest box in with her?
I wish i could feel the eggs (i think its called palpatate) like a lot of people say they can but all I can feel is squishiness in both.
Sorry for the length of the post but thanks for looking.
