    Is she gravid???!!!
    I sure hope, but here's the story.

    I have a female that was 2,025 grams before I began breeding, on Feb 2.(yeah late start). I bred her to a 900 gram male from Ralph starting on the 2nd. Her last meal was a frozen small rat on Jan 28. She was not cooled. I paired them on and off(2 days together, 2 day breaks) The male most of the time, the female did not. I stopped pairing them on March 27.(I gave up way too early, but didnt think the incubator was ready yet, it is now) So she did not eat since Jan 28 and still has not, she lost 100 grams, is down to 1,925. Today, I got her out to look and weigh. She is clearly thinner, and her backbone sticks put a little. She's got A small lump about 2/3 of the way down her body. Not ibg, but is noticable. She hasn't shed or ovulated yet(that Im aware of). Should I assume she is not gravid and work on getting her to eat, or leave her alone and hope for eggs? Oh, and whenever (95%) of the time I see her, she is on the hot side.

    Should I put the male back to be sure? I think Ill do that now, It can't hurt.
