    Question My breeding female not eating?

    So, my female bp that I am breeding this season has refuse food this week and last week. Last week I didnt think much of it simply because she was in shed. This week though I am stumped, I have yet to even see them lock up and am not sure if they have. I usually keep the male in the female's cage for 2 days, the last time I paired them up I left him in there for 3, because of a rain storm that blew in. She hasnt lost any weight what so ever. Everything is spot on: temps, humidity, the works. I last paired her up with a male last thursday.

    I havent had much time to do research on this, but any feedback, suggestions, or reasons as to why will be extremely helpful and appreciated.

    It's typical for a female to go off feed during breeding season.

    Aah, okay. I knew they go off feed when they are developing follicles. I just didnt think she would go off feed this early.

    Thankyou!
