Female gained weight unusually fast
So I bought an adult pastel female on Nov 20 she's was 1756g she has missed one meal since then every week she gets a med-lrg rat she is now 2600g Is this her getting ready for breeding?? I've been pairing her with my spider male no visual Locks yet just seems like a lot to gain in such a short time http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/01/23/yjy5y9ur.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/01/23/juzy6esu.jpg

I thought you were supposed to feed about 10% of their body weight once they get a certain size isn't medium to small

The 10-15% rule is only for hatchlings and juvis.
I feed my adults smalls. Sometimes a medium for the big girls.
Got it I was under the impression it was just s general rule

Was she underweight when you bought her? Ive seen fast weight gain like that in adults (age) that are underweight.

Like others have said, you may be feeding her too much. All of my breeders get a small once a week. Anyone over about 2200g gets a medium.
