    How old is she? If you feed her medium rats weekly, she will get up to size! Even if she is close to 1500 grams(1350+) by Oct., she will be to size before she builds! If it's only her second winter, chances are she probably won't go anyways. Some do but most don't in my experience! GOOD LUCK!!!

    Thanks! I don't want to overfeed her, but i just want to make sure she is healthy enough to be able to have a small clutch of eggs.

    Being a late 08 means she's over 2 1/2 years old and her average weight gain is around 33 grams per month.
    In November, going by her past weight gain, she will weigh about 1200 grams

    You can try to feed her more often and see if she will, but if she won't you'll just be stuck playing the waiting game with her.
