Disappearing follicles?

[Ben.L]

Hi all, just wondering if anyone has experienced this. It's my first season and I've been pairing my spider with a male since late October. She's been off food for a couple of weeks (usually doesn't miss a feed) so I tried palpating her on Monday and definitely felt 5-6 small but obvious lumps in the lower 3rd of her body, in one long chain

Now here's the problem - I tried again today, 5 days later, and can't feel anything! I'm just curious whether maybe I was just getting excited over nothing or maybe there was something else to it. I think she's looking fatter and had convinced myself she was building, though now I'm not so sure... Any help would be appreciated, cheers!

Some days the feel bigger IMO. You also mave have been feeling poop that has moved further down. Just keep pairing! Keep us posted.

Thanks Mike. I thought that too maybe but she's only peed a little since. Just frustrating as I took it to be my first sign of progress!

If she is ready, you will have eggs. Just keep doing what you are doing. It can be frustrating at points. I know your pain.

Could of ovulated and not know it, as palpating eggs is harder since their softer like water balloons
