Pre-ovulation shed?

I am hoping so. Here was Godiva on Friday :) Hasn't shed yet, but in a week or so..

Pre-ovulation, or pre-lay shed? I'm watching Echo like a hawk myself - she shed right after Christmas, and now she's bowl wrapping - so.....fingers crossed.

Good luck Jen!

I don't think that it is pre-lat yet. I had her with my Spider briefly in November.. and then paired her with my striped male roughly 60-70 days ago. I am actually hoping that the stripe won out, because I want to try to prove him out..
Yes she has done the bowl-wrap also..
Good luck to you as well :)

I think I have a few girls going into their pre lay sheds. Not sure though if it isnt just a regular shed.

Good Luck to both of you. I like that female too.

Thanks. She was actually a sort of a rescue case.. if you give them a chance, build them back up, they will return the favor a trillion-fold, I believe ;)

Is she still feeding?

I fed her about a week and a half ago; a medium rat. Last year though, all of my females wanted to eat during breeding season; Ginger I swear, would eat while she's locked up if I let her!

when would you stop feeding your female breeders?

After ovulation (If you see it) or when they just refuse. If you are cooling reduce food items to smaller than usual meals
