Hey all, so I know I've mentioned my 07 female pinstripe, Penelope, who has been off feed since I got her on December 12. I believer her last meal was Dec. 9, and she was eating every three days. She weighed in around 1100 grams or so in October I was told. I moved twice in the next month and her UTH failed so she was a little cool for a few days while flexwatt was rush-delivered. Between the stress of moving and the cool temps, I think she's just cycling and off-feed for the winter, so no big deal. She made two big poos, the last was on 12/21.

I finally got my new scale (the My Weigh 7001DX from RBI) and I LOVE it. Penelope weighed in at 1277 g on 2/2 and when I weighed her again tonight (2/8) she weighed 1289 g! I weighed her multiple times both times to be sure and I get the same weight. How is she gaining weight after having not eaten since early December? This doesn't seem possible? Her previous owner said she "locked up" with a pewter a few times a couple weeks before I got her, but he didn't think she took and frankly I didn't either (also was hoping not, since I think she's too small to breed). Is it possible she's gravid and developing eggs? This still seems weird. I'll weigh her again in another few days to see if there is any change.

So, in 6 days she gained 12 grams, and both my 08 babies gained 18 grams (they probably have some poos building up in there, haha). But she is off-feed and the babies are eating every 5-7 days?
