    "?" about male and female
    they have been locking up since late oct.
    she's been feeding like a monster since oct.
    he's been feeding lite since he started locking up.
    1.5 months ago HE went off feed.
    2.5 weeks* ago SHE went off feed.
    he weighed 1000+grams in dec.( now weighs 850+grams.)
    she weighed 1850grams a month ago and is holding her weight give or take a few.

    i know in males its normal to go off feed during breeding.

    i know she was just building.
    but now what? she isnt bowl wrapping and i suck at palpating.
    but she doesn't seem buldgey or lumpy.
    she was SERIOUSLY glowing a few weeks ago.
    she looked olive green.
    and has been back and forth between favoring the hot and cool side.
    no bowl wrapping. her temps are 85 hot side.
    and 76 cool.
    ambient is about 80.
    humidity is around 65-75%.
    and its been 2.5 months since last shed.


    hope i gave enough details for some insight for the communities thoughts.

    Lol I guess a question would help huh?
    I guess im asking if all this sounds normal or basically if im doing everything right. If they seem like they are in the right track.
    Like I said I suck at palpating but I know my animals and she looks huge! Very fat. More than usual but I dont feel anything.

    Learning how to properly palpate is a huge help. It has really helped me this year! Good luck!

    I've been trying. And I can't tell if I'm feeling lumps like folicles or just her muscles. I've tried the pillowvase trick and felt the same thing. Ill keep trying
